NGP Capital

🎉 Celebrating 20 years of unleashing the magic of technology at NGP Capital! In 2005, we launched with a radical "Mobile First" thesis when most were focused on the web and desktop. Fast forward to today, and what a journey it's been: 💫 From our early wins with Bitboys and Coding Technologies to billion-dollar exits like Heptagon, UC Web, and Moovit. ⚒️ Through market cycles - weathering the 2008 crisis and emerging stronger from the pandemic. 🦾 Partnering with global category leaders across ad tech, logistics, and transportation to industrial tech, edge & data infrastructure, and space. But the most exciting chapter lies ahead. We're stepping into the era of Convergence - where physical and digital worlds seamlessly merge through #AI, #robotics, #spatialcomputing, and #quantum technologies. 🔑 Two decades of investing have taught us one crucial lesson: The power of conviction. So, here's to the next 20 years of backing visionary founders who are building the future! 🚀 Huge thank you to our LP Nokia, our incredible founders, and our dedicated team for being part of this remarkable journey 💜 Learn more about our journey (link in comments👇 ) #VentureCapital #Innovation #Technology #Entrepreneurship #FutureOfTech
