Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Struck Capital?
Adam B. Struck is the Founder and Managing Partner and leads the firm's investment strategy. He is joined by General Partner Michael Montero, who also co-founded and serves as CTO of Struck Studio, and a team that includes former SoftBank Vision Fund investors David Yoo (Principal) and Haley Vincent (Investor). The firm's website positions this group as the core investing unit.
How does Struck Capital source proprietary deal flow?
Struck generates proprietary deal flow through Struck Studio, its in-house venture studio that researches, validates, and builds new companies from scratch — effectively co-founding startups and investing the firm's own capital at formation. This hybrid model gives the firm early and exclusive access to companies it creates, alongside the more traditional network-driven sourcing for its seed fund.
What is Struck Capital's relationship with Struck Studio?
Struck Studio is the captive venture studio arm of Struck Capital. It is led by Co-Founder and CTO Michael Montero and Chairman Tom Ryan, and it builds new technology companies through a process of expert-led research, validation, and product design. The studio generates proprietary deal flow for Struck Capital while sharing the firm's operational resources, including the recruiting engine and operating partner network.
How does Struck Capital help portfolio companies raise downstream capital?
The firm states it leverages a track record of bringing top growth-stage firms into downstream fundraises, with a team that includes former SoftBank investors who have direct relationships with late-stage capital providers. Struck's playbook involves keeping potential follow-on investors engaged early and, when appropriate, making direct introductions to the partners who can lead the next round.
