About Gyan Kapur

Gyan Kapur serves as Co-Managing Partner at Surface Ventures, a $50 million New York-based pre-seed and seed fund, having assumed the role in 2020 after previously running Bayes Ventures and working as a Vice President at Activate Venture Partners. His investment thesis targets B2B industries, specifically health IT, health services, and enterprise SaaS, with a geographic focus on the US and Canada and a developer-first approach globally. Kapur typically writes checks between $250,000 and $4 million, with a sweet spot of $2 million, investing from pre-seed through Series A. Notable portfolio companies include Bleximo, DataDog, DrChrono, Ellipsis Health, Glidian, and Mix Lab. He distinguishes himself through an unusually hands-on technical approach, having personally built a real-time analytics stack to track portfolio risk, and combines deep healthcare experience from Gather Health with a background in foreign-exchange derivatives from Citigroup. While specific lead or follow behavior is not explicitly detailed in available sources, his technical involvement suggests an active engagement style beyond passive capital provision.
