SDH Capital

Skull Diamond and Heart Capital is a venture capital firm founded in 2020 in Rochester, New York, by Chance Wright. The firm operates at the intersection of food technology and agricultural technology (agritech), focusing on early-stage and growth-stage ventures with the potential to disrupt and redefine their respective markets. The firm's investment philosophy is encapsulated in a three-part model: invest, catalyze, and prosper — funding innovative early-stage technologies, providing hands-on operational support, and helping portfolio companies build the foundation for organic growth and profitability. With a portfolio of nine or more companies and growing, Skull Diamond and Heart Capital positions itself as more than a traditional funding source. The firm offers a comprehensive, à la carte suite of services designed to address the operational and strategic needs of portfolio companies. These services are structured so that approved vendors and contractors bill the firm directly, removing financial friction from portfolio companies seeking specialized support. Service offerings include access to professional office space featuring contemporary design, ergonomic furnishings, natural light, and integrated technology infrastructure suitable for collaborative work and private meetings. The firm also provides managed IT services, with proactive monitoring and maintenance of IT infrastructure to minimize downtime and keep business operations running efficiently. Portfolio companies additionally gain access to a curated network of trusted vendors and professional service partners, spanning areas such as photography, media production, and marketing agencies. This ecosystem approach is central to the firm's value proposition, enabling portfolio companies to scale and optimize operations by tapping into pre-vetted, top-tier resources and expertise. The firm's target investment profile centers on entrepreneurs developing cutting-edge technologies, revolutionary business models, or groundbreaking products within the food and agritech sectors. By combining financial capital with strategic guidance and operational infrastructure, Skull Diamond and Heart Capital aims to nurture early-stage innovation and accelerate its path to market leadership.
