About Script Capital
Script Capital is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm that focuses on early-stage internet and software startups. Founded in 2016 or 2017, the firm rebranded from 122West Ventures to Script Capital in 2024, launching its second fund. It manages a $38 million pre-seed Fund II and typically invests between $250,000 and $500,000 in pre-seed and seed rounds.
The firm partners with technical founders, providing not only capital but also strategic guidance from the start of their journey. Script Capital has a strong network, particularly through its connection with South Park Commons, which
The firm's first fund, then called 122West Ventures, was an $8M fund closed in 2017. Crunchbase gives 2016 as the founding year. In December 2021 the firm announced a $38M second fund and the Script Capital name. Press releases describe that fund as the second for founding partners AJ Solimine and Evan Tana. Solimine previously founded Nitrous, a cloud development platform backed by Bessemer Venture Partners. Crunchbase lists Tana as a founding general partner and a former co-founder of Sparks. The firm's own newsletter says it closed Script Capital III, LP in early 2024 and had made 20+ investments from it by the time of that update. The size of Fund III is not stated in the sources I found.
Script describes itself as a pre-seed fund for technical founders building developer-facing tools and infrastructure. Its newsletter names AI agents in law, accounting, customer service, sales, marketing and software development as areas it expects to change quickly. Its AI-related companies include Tolmo (AI security agents), Secludy (privacy-preserving data for AI and ML teams), Rork (AI mobile app building) and New.computer (an AI agent with memory). Script led or co-led Secludy's earlier pre-seed round with 43.io and joined its $4M seed. The sources do not name which partner leads AI deals.
