What is a Capybara?
At Capybara Ventures we like companies who aspire to be category leaders...like our namesake, the world's largest rodent. We and our investors derive inspiration from this industrious and intelligent giant.
The capybara, Hydrochoerus Hydrochaeris, is a semi-aquatic rodent of South America. It weighs about a hundred pounds, and is about 2 feet tall at the shoulder.
