Initialized Capital
Initialized Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm founded in 2012 by Garry Tan, Alexis Ohanian, and Harjeet (Harj) Taggar, with offices in San Francisco and New York. The firm is hyper-focused on the seed stage, typically investing before a startup's success strikes other investors as inevitable and favoring companies that have raised little to no prior capital. Rather than thematic investing, Initialized centers its thesis on strong founding teams and acts as a de facto extended founding team from 0 to 1, providing operational support across product design, engineering, recruiting, storytelling, go-to-market, and Series A fundraising. It invests broadly across enterprise SaaS, consumer, marketplaces, fintech, crypto, healthcare, climate, hardware, real estate, and frontier/AI technology. As of 2021 the firm had raised more than $3.2B across its funds and has backed 200+ companies, including 28 unicorns such as Coinbase, Instacart, Cruise, Flexport, Reddit, Opendoor, Rippling, and Patreon, with portfolio companies creating an aggregate of over $200B in market value.
Initialized Capital is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Initialized Capital is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Initialized Capital, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
