About HI Mark Capital

HI Mark Capital builds and invests in AI-powered companies in large, underserved markets.

We source technology from federally funded research centers (FFRDCs), national laboratories and research universities, and partner with founder-led technology firms ready to scale. We work alongside founders from concept to commercial traction, providing product, go-to-market, compliance and capital strategy, with a commitment to companies led by women and minority operators.

With partners in the United States and Asia, we connect companies to customers, capital and markets on both sides of the Pacific. Our partners regularly meet with investors, founders and research institutions across the U.S., Asia and the Middle East on opportunities in AI, life sciences and robotics.
