About

MiLA Capital was a venture capital firm based in Los Angeles, California, that operated from 2015 to 2020. The firm specialized in seed-stage investments, focusing on 'tech you can touch' opportunities with attractive valuations. MiLA Capital's investment strategy emphasized sectors such as food and agriculture technology, hardware, climate technology, consumer packaged goods, and direct-to-consumer businesses.

The firm was known for its commitment to diversity, actively recruiting underrepresented groups, including women, Latinx, Black, and LGBTQIA founders. MiLA Capital also operated the Make in LA accelerator program and established an innovation lab called Toolbox LA to support hardware-focused startups. Although the hardware-focused fund and the accelerator program have officially closed, the three partners continue to support the MiLA portfolio and community.
