Story Capital

Story Capital

Story Capital was launched by co-founders Justin Nam, Jai Kim, and Shuo Zheng. The firm's website describes an investment approach centered on category-defining technology or technology-enabled companies. The team's background and the specific year of founding are not publicly disclosed. The firm pursues a fundamental research-driven strategy, building a concentrated portfolio across growth stages. Story Capital deploys capital through primary issuances, secondary transactions, and select co-investments. The firm cites the extended period companies remain private as a structural tailwind, allowing it to act as a turnkey liquidity provider for founders, employees, and existing investors. The geographic focus is not explicitly stated, though the firm lists offices in both Palo Alto and New York. Story Capital operates from Palo Alto and New York. The website lists three co-founders; total team size and deployment figures are not published. No adjacent vehicles, philanthropic foundations, or club memberships are disclosed. The firm's public materials provide no dated operational events from the last 24 months. Story Capital's structure differentiates it from single-stage venture funds by explicitly targeting companies across growth stages through three distinct access points — primaries, secondaries, and co-investments — positioning the firm as a multi-tool liquidity provider within the venture ecosystem rather than a pure primary investor.
