We're seed investors who write $500K checks and make quick decisions. Once we invest, we roll up our sleeves to design better websites, hop on Zoom calls to brainstorm how to acquire customers, and help you write compelling pitches.

About Julian Shapiro

I was the VP of Marketing for Webflow ($4B+ valuation). I then ran growth for Heap Analytics ($960M+ valuation), and I grew Clearbit’s Connect ($800M+ valuation).

I then founded Demand Curve (YC S19) to help tens of thousands of startups grow. There, I acquired users for Imperfect Foods, Tovala, Outschool, and others. Our agency, Bell Curve, has grown Microsoft, Ancestry, TechCrunch, and more. I also wrote TechCrunch’s marketing column.

Most people know me for my longform handbooks on Julian.com. There, I've built a large audience of startup employees (Twitter) plus I write a popular newsletter. Here’s a sampling of the nice things folks have said.

Before this, I was an engineer. I built one of the most popular open source libraries: Velocity.js (Wikipedia, Github). For it, I was awarded the Stripe Open Source grant and I was profiled in Forbes.

Prior to Julian Capital, I was an angel investor in Ramp, Republic, Mercury, Yassir, and ClassDojo.
