Why 283?
At first glance, 283 might seem like just a number.
But for me, it’s home—the house I grew up in. The walls quietly witnessed my dreams, my stumbles, and my resilience.
283 gave me more than an address.
It gave me stability, clarity, and belief—the very foundation every founder looks for in the partners they choose to build with.
So when I started this firm, the name was clear.
283 Capital is a reflection of that belief—grounded, personal, and built to walk the journey with founders.
Additionally, 283 is quite a unique number—more about this in the blog.
