We believe the best investments feel like discoveries.
The Story
Field Trip started in music. Founded by Zack Bia in 2020, Field Trip Recordings built a roster of artists that most of the industry overlooked. Signing Yeat before he had a deal, breaking acts like EsDeeKid and BNYX, and partnering with major labels including Geffen, Interscope, and Capitol Records along the way.
The through line was always the same: find talented people early, back them with conviction, and help them build. Field Trip Capital is the natural extension of that instinct. Applying the same eye for talent and culture to Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A investing.
We invest $250K to $5M in founders building across consumer, media, AI, and hardware. We know what it looks like when something is about to break out. We've been doing it since day one. The name says it all. A field trip is about curiosity, going somewhere new, seeing something others miss, and having the conviction to act on it.
How We Work
Fewer Bets, Higher Conviction
We don't spray and pray. We make concentrated investments in founders we deeply believe in and back them with everything we have.
Think in Decades, Not Quarters
The short term is noise. The long term is where the signal lives. We invest for where the world is going, not where it is today.
Culture Is Signal
We came from music and entertainment. We understand how culture moves before markets do and we use that lens to find what's next.
Earn the Cap Table
Capital is a commodity. We get on cap tables by being useful. Fast decisions, real networks, no games. Founders talk, and we want them talking about us.
