Shine Capital

Shine Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2020 by Mo Koyfman (formerly General Partner at Spark Capital) and headquartered in New York, NY, with an additional office in San Francisco, CA. The firm has raised $600 million across three early-stage funds and one opportunities fund. It leads Seed and Series A rounds across a broad range of technology sectors — including AI/ML, crypto/web3, consumer, biotech, and defense — investing thematically at the intersections of technology, markets, and culture. Shine describes its approach as 'lateralist,' prioritizing non-linear thinking over sector specialization. The firm also invests in companies based in the US, Europe, and Israel, and actively supports portfolio companies post-investment through strategy, team-building, and network access.
