1789 Capital

1789 Capital is a Palm Beach, Florida-based venture capital firm founded October 3, 2022 by Omeed Malik, Rebekah Mercer, and Chris Buskirk (members of the Rockbridge Network), positioning itself as an "anti-ESG" firm built around a "patriotic capitalism" / "invest only in America" thesis, with a focus on AI and defense technology. Donald Trump Jr. joined as a partner shortly after the 2024 election, focused on new investment origination, capital raising, and strategy. Assets under management reportedly grew from about $200 million to roughly $3.5 billion over the year to May 2026 (Financial Times), with the firm reportedly targeting $10 billion AUM. In September 2025 the firm was reported to be raising roughly $1 billion for a real estate fund targeting South Florida (Palm Beach/Boca Raton) in partnership with the Frisbie Group; entity_universe already tracks several of that fund's SEC Form D filing vehicles ("1789 Real Estate Co-Invest Fund I, LP" and related entities) as separate private entities.
