1789 Capital
1789 Capital Management, LLC is an American venture capital firm based in Palm Beach, Florida. The company focuses on products and companies associated with conservative values, and positions itself as an anti-ESG investment firm.
1789 Capital was founded on October 3, 2022. The founders were members of the Rockbridge Network, including investment banker Omeed Malik, heiress Rebekah Mercer, and entrepreneur Chris Buskirk. They created the firm as a result of the 2022 Rockbridge Summit. Blake Masters was also involved in the initial conversation, according to Bloomberg. The group chose the number 1789 to reflect the year the U.S. Bill of Rights was adopted.
The New York Times reported that Donald Trump Jr. and Malik began planning investments together sometime around 2020, years before Trump Jr. joined the firm.
Alexandra Ulmer and Joseph Tanfani from Reuters remark that Peter Thiel was an instrumental force behind the creation of 1789 Capital. Buskirk was a confidant of Thiel's, while Blake Masters, who formerly worked for Thiel Capital, was also a board member. The fund is intended to create a "parallel economy", a network that combines "businesses, media outlets and political organizations" associated with the America First movement. The firm has invested in Anduril Industries, the defense manufacturing company Hadrian, and other Thiel-backed companies.
The firm was originally registered in Delaware. As of September 2025[update], it is still registered there, but has its main office in Palm Beach, Florida, and conducts business in the state, with the Tallahassee branch of the Corporation Service Company as their registered agent. They also have an office in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The firm made its first investment into Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel's new media company in 2023. Shortly after Donald Trump won the 2024 United States presidential election, Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. announced that he would be joining as a partner at 1789 Capital instead of joining his father in a government position. 1789 Capital and Type One Ventures co-hosted a fundraising event at Mar-a-Lago, which is owned by Donald Trump, on January 15, 2025, 5 days before Trump's inauguration.
As of October 2025[ref], the main page for the 1789 Capital website says "Funding the Next Chapter of American Exceptionalism".
In September 2025, the company reported its assets amounted to US$861,247,283.
