Collide Capital
Collide Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm managed by two dynamic general partners, Aaron Samuels and Brian Hollins, who bring a unique blend of consulting, investment banking, and founder and investment experience to the art of venture investing. The name “Collide” comes from the concept of intersectionality between different communities and identities. Of the 40 startups Collide has funded so far, 80% are led by Black, Latino, or female founders. The firm was oversubscribed in their first vintage and will likely be harder to access as their track record solidifies their position as one of the top Black-general partners in the space. Their focus is on pre-seed to Series A investments and the duo has amassed a blue-chip roster of limited partners for Fund I, including Amazon, Alphabet Bain Capital, University of California Endowment, Insight Partners, and Lightspeed Ventures. They are in the early days of launching their second vintage which will be among the most attractive venture raises in 2024.
