Aquila Capital Partners

If you’re an entrepreneur with an amazing product and loyal customers, then you’ve taken your company from 0 to 1. At Aquila, we can help you take it from 1 to 10.

When the internet was still in its infancy, our founder Mark E. Watson III sensed that technology was going to significantly transform business and the economy, just like it had previously triggered major industrial revolutions. So, in 1998, Mark co-founded Aquila Capital Partners to support and invest in companies that leverage potentially transformative technologies.

With expertise in investment, capital allocation, and strategy, Aquila has been helping innovative entrepreneurs build and scale their companies for over 25 years, by providing both financial and intellectual capital. Using an entrepreneur-to-entrepreneur approach, we help with all things funding, strategy, and scaling but also with navigating through shifting environments and world crises.

Today, we’re invested in over a dozen companies in:

- FinTech/InsureTech

- AI

- BioTech

- Direct-to-Consumer brands

More specifically, we help our portfolio companies with:

- Funding: seed and early stage, from $1m to $150m in revenue

- Scaling and business strategy

- Product development and go-to-market strategy

- Management and supply chain
