Background
Neil Kapur is a Partner at TTV Capital, an Atlanta-headquartered venture capital firm that invests exclusively in fintech. He joined TTV in March 2021, relocating his focus from the San Francisco Bay Area, where he had spent roughly four years as a Principal at B Capital Group — the global venture and growth-equity firm co-founded with backing from Boston Consulting Group and managing over $2 billion in assets. At B Capital he led investments across fintech and insurtech, including in the payments company Plastiq and startups spanning Indonesia, Singapore, and India.
Before becoming a full-time investor, Kapur built an operating and finance background centered on payments. He held a business-development role at Google focused on scaling its consumer-facing payments and commerce business, and helped grow two fintech startups in payments and lending — including a business-development role at a payments startup (Adaptive Payments) during a Series B fundraise. Earlier in his career he worked in investment banking and consulting, gaining exposure to Atlanta's fintech ecosystem at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey and Deloitte, and spent time with a microfinance lending company in Tanzania.
He earned his undergraduate degree from Emory University and an MBA from UCLA's Anderson School of Management. At TTV, his responsibilities span sourcing and deal flow alongside portfolio and board work; he has served as a board member for portfolio companies including Themis and MakersHub.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Invests almost exclusively in fintech — payments, infrastructure, insurance/insurtech, embedded finance, and financial-services software — the same thesis TTV Capital has pursued for decades.
- Backs companies across Seed, Series A, and Series B, writing checks that range from roughly $100K to $10M, typically around $1M.
- Long-term bull on the category: *"I'm looking at the next few decades… and I'm actually thinking that the opportunities are bigger. There's more capital chasing the space, there's more entrepreneurs building, and there are more problems to be solved."*
- Increasingly focused on AI-enabled fintech: in 2025 he described TTV's stance as *"investing in AI-enabled applications while maintaining patience and focus in our deployment of capital."*
- Values a founder-first, entrepreneur-centric partnership style, describing the ideal investor posture as *"incredibly founder-friendly, entrepreneur centric, always putting the portfolio companies first and the founders first."*
- Brings an operator's lens from Google and payments startups, which shapes a preference for founders solving concrete infrastructure and financial-services problems.
