Intel Capital invests in early-stage technology companies across software and hardware. Founded in 1991, it organises its investment work around cloud computing, devices, frontier technologies and silicon. Its interests include the computing infrastructure and components needed to develop and run new applications, alongside the software businesses that use them. Artificial intelligence and other technically demanding fields form part of that remit.
The Firm combines investment Teams with a portfolio development operation that supports the companies it backs. That support includes introductions to potential customers, access to technical specialists and work with advisers. Intel Capital also draws on Intel's resources and expertise. Its role therefore extends beyond providing capital to helping portfolio companies develop commercial relationships and address technical or business needs.
