Drive Capital is a venture capital firm. The company has invested in Midwest companies, including FarmLogs, Roadtrippers, Channel IQ, and CrossChx.[1] The organization's programs focus on establishing entrepreneurial ecosystems with a goal to support new businesses and solidify a base of operation in the midwestern United States, rather than refocusing financial investment opportunities outside of the region.[2]
In February 2014, the firm established its first venture capital fund, Drive Capital Fund I.[3]
Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the organization was founded in 2013 by Mark Kvamme and Chris Olsen, both formerly of Sequoia Capital.[4]
