Investment-fund research reviewed 2026-10-06. Publicly identified funds, dates, amounts and fundraising status are below. Undisclosed commitments remain unknown; this is not a complete register of private SPVs or parallel entities. Fund sizes, status and stages | Vehicle or measure | Amount and status | Date and supporting evidence | Qualification | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | HOF 2022 early-stage fund | USD $300M raised | [Official HOF Fund 2022 announcement](https://hofcapital.substack.com/p/hof-fund-2022), 2022-05-03 | Announced raised amount, not merely a target. Official post does not give a legal vehicle name; third-party databases call it Institutional Fund II. Explicit mandate: pre-seed through Series A. | | Firm AUM in that announcement | More than USD $1B | Same official post, 2022-05-03 | Historical aggregate AUM, not fund size or available investment budget. | | HOF Capital Strategic Opportunities Fund, L.P., with Cayman co-issuer | USD $500M total sold; offering and remaining amount indefinite; 204 investors | [SEC Form D/A](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2035871/000203587125000004/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml), signed/filed 2025-12-11; first sale 2024-12-17 | Primary filing directly indexed/read. Reported securities sold, not a final-close announcement. Co-issuer presentation must not be counted twice. Classified as venture capital fund in Form D. | | HOF Capital Strategic Opportunities Fund II, L.P., 2026 vintage | USD $708.5M sold toward USD $1.5B offering; $791.5M remaining; 39 investors | [Form D reproduction and filing locator](https://altstreet.investments/edgar/2148897), filing 2026-08-31, first sale 2026-08-14, accession `0002148780-26-000001`; [StreetInsider SEC filing reproduction](https://www.streetinsider.com/SEC%2BFilings/Form%2B%2BD%2B%2B%2B%2B%2B%2B%2B%2B%2B%2B%2B%2BHOF%2BCapital%2BStrategic/27005165.html), 2026-08-31 | Latest-known newer vehicle found. This is partial fundraising, not a $1.5B closed fund. Original SEC archive URLs could not be accessed by the browsing tool, so the amount remains filing-reproduction evidence requiring direct EDGAR review. Do not add a separate Cayman feeder total without checking overlap. | Searches explicitly covered 2025–2026 newer funds and Strategic Opportunities vehicles. An [ADV aggregator](https://www.formds.com/investment-advisers/hof-capital), accessed 2026-10-06, showed $7.25B regulatory AUM tied to a 2026-03-31 filing. Another [historical filing view](https://www.formds.com/investment-advisers/hof-capital?filing=2126306) identified an August 31, 2026 amendment and individual fund gross assets. These are different measures and dates, and were not independently checked against the full official ADV; no current definitive AUM is asserted here. The aggregator also labels a Compute Infrastructure vehicle association unconfirmed; exclude it from verified fund totals. The 2022 mandate establishes early-stage targeting at that time. Current portfolio holdings and the 2026 Rimac acquisition show multi-stage exposure; they do not prove that every current HOF fund accepts every stage. No current official universal check-size policy or detailed Fund II stage mandate was found. A founder whose company is pre-seed should distinguish the early-stage strategy from opportunities/acquisition vehicles. Funds recorded in Adex after this review: | Fund | Disclosed amount | Announcement / filing date | | --- | --- | --- | | 2022 Early-stage Fund | USD 300000000 | 2022-05-03 | | HOF Capital Strategic Opportunities Fund, L.P. | Undisclosed / unverified | 2025-12-11 | | HOF Capital Strategic Opportunities Fund II, L.P. | Undisclosed / unverified | 2026-08-31 |

Baseline Adex/Signal statements describe prior state, not independent verification. Retain cited attribution, date, currency and classification caveats. | Rimac Group / Bugatti Rimac | EV batteries, e-axles and advanced electrified vehicle engineering within Rimac Technology; Bugatti luxury branding alone is not the deep-tech rationale. | HOF-led consortium acquired Porsche's 21% Rimac Group and 45% Bugatti Rimac stakes; completion announced 2026-09-09. BlueFive Capital was consortium's largest investor. | [Official completion announcement](https://www.rimac-newsroom.com/press-releases/rimac-group/transaction-completed-hof-capital-consortium-completes-the-acquisition-of-porsche), 2026-09-09. This is a secondary/acquisition transaction, not a VC round or wholly HOF-funded purchase. [2022 Series D announcement](https://www.rimac-newsroom.com/press-releases/rimac-group/rimac-group-raises-eur-500-million-in-series-d-investment-round-led-by-softbank-v), 2022-06-01, describes EUR €500M financing and technology but does not name HOF in its investor text. Thus the snapshot's 2022 participation attribution is not independently confirmed by that release. | Additional official portfolio leads include Valar Atomics (advanced nuclear reactors) and Generalist AI (physical-world intelligence). They are relevant holdings, but financing dates/stages/amounts were not established here; retain as follow-up leads rather than inventing round records. ## Previous neurotech investments **Neuralink: verified HOF fund portfolio investment, transaction timing unspecified.** Neuralink develops implanted brain-computer interfaces for neural control of computers/devices, so it is direct neurotechnology. HOF's [current official portfolio](https://hofcapital.com/portfolio/) lists Neuralink, and its [official portfolio rider as of 2024-09-30](https://hofcapital.com/blanks_.pdf) includes Neuralink among holdings with at least USD $1M total invested capital. The rider states these are HOF clients' (funds') portfolio companies, subject to confidentiality omissions. This supports firm-managed-fund attribution and a position by September 2024; it does not identify a particular round, investment date, partner, legal vehicle or primary-versus-secondary route. Neuralink's [official USD $650M Series E announcement](https://neuralink.com/updates/neuralink-raises-650m-series-e/), 2025-06-02, confirms brain-interface technology and clinical applications, but its named investor list does not include HOF. It is not exhaustive (“amongst others”), so it neither establishes nor disproves HOF participation in that round. Do not assign the $650M Series E to HOF without another source. Intellect appears in the HOF rider and Signal profile as a mental-health investment, but mental-health services are adjacent to neurotech. Reframe and Mantra Health also appear in the rider; no neural-device or brain-interface technology was verified for them. Insitro drug discovery and generic AI are not automatically neurotech. No other direct neurotechnology investment was verified in the sources checked. ## Conflicts, missing information and later Adex review - **Founding date:** Adex and Signal say 2015; HOF's own May 2022 post says the firm was founded in 2016. Preserve both attributed claims pending legal/operational chronology review. - **Outdated LP language:** Signal/snapshot say 70 families; the 2022 official post describes 240 LPs across 37 countries. These are different dates and potentially populations; do not assume a numerical error or use 70 as current. - **Fund freshness:** Signal's $300M figure matches the early-stage fund, but newer opportunities vehicles exist. Review 2026 Fund II directly in EDGAR before recording a final-close or $1.5B fund-size claim. - **Verified neurotech addition:** Neuralink is missing from the snapshot investment list extracted for this report, despite dated official fund-portfolio evidence. Later reviewer can consider a portfolio investment with unknown round/date and September 2024 evidence date; avoid fabricated round data. - **Round attribution cleanup:** Rimac's 2022 announcement does not name HOF; 2026 consortium acquisition is separately verified. Snapshot company label “Rimac Automobili” should be reviewed against Rimac Group/Bugatti Rimac legal entities. - **Weak/duplicate baseline records:** BillionToOne uses indirect Goldi/YC sources; Cassidy/Cassidy AI and Vooma/Vooma.ai appear as separate names, and a Meliora record points to an incongruously named Mammoth/Pacific 8 page. These require separate record-level review, not automatic deletion or consolidation. - **No verified current check policy:** Preserve unknown firmwide checks unless current official documentation supports an update. Signal numbers belong to Victor Wang's profile. - **Limits:** This report verifies representative named investments, not an exhaustive round audit of every snapshot company. Current official portfolio is selective; the rider is explicitly dated and permits confidentiality omissions. No firmwide sum of investment amounts, active deployment budget, current AUM or neurotech-only mandate was established. All linked sources were accessed 2026-10-06; undated profile/portfolio sources carry that access date. No MCP Patch, Adex/database write, commit or unrelated file change was performed.

Retain cited attribution, date, currency and classification caveats. # HOF Capital - Exact Adex ID: `HOFCapital` - Canonical Adex URL: https://adex.page/firms/HOFCapital - Research date and source access date: 2026-10-06. - Status: complete research report; research only, no Adex changes. HOF Capital has verified investments across physics-based computing, synthetic biology, molecular diagnostics, space technology and frontier AI, plus a verified neurotech portfolio position in Neuralink. Its documented 2022 early-stage mandate is pre-seed through Series A, while later transactions demonstrate broader growth and acquisition activity. Latest-known fundraising evidence includes a 2026 Strategic Opportunities Fund II offering, which must not be confused with the $300 million 2022 early-stage fund or firmwide AUM. ## Starting evidence: Adex and NFX Signal Read the exact-ID snapshot `data/research/_sources/HOFCapital.adex.json`, retrieved 2026-10-06 at 19:29 UTC. It describes a firm founded in 2015, backed by 70 families/organizations and supporting founders from idea to IPO. Its check minimum, maximum and sweet spot are null. It links the old official domain https://www.hofvc.com/ (now redirects to https://hofcapital.com/) and [NFX Signal firm profile](https://signal.nfx.com/firms/hof-capital). Its numerous investment records include Extropic, BillionToOne, Cambrium, PostEra and Rimac alongside general fintech/software investments; many dates are null, some sources are indirect aggregators, and duplicate company representations occur. These are historical leads, not independent verification. The Signal firm page was directly read: New York identity, 2015 founding, the 70-family description and idea-to-IPO language are visible; its team heading returned no readable members. A related [Victor Wang profile](https://signal.nfx.com/investors/victor-wang), also directly read, identifies him as HOF partner and shows $300M fund size, $500K–$10M investment range, $3M sweet spot and DeepTech pre-seed/Series A rankings. It lists Extropic's December 2023 seed and BillionToOne rounds. These are profile claims, not verified current firmwide check limits. Connection/intro features require Google login; no login was used. Both pages are undated, accessed 2026-10-06. ## Fund sizes, status and stages | Vehicle or measure | Amount and status | Date and supporting evidence | Qualification | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | HOF 2022 early-stage fund | USD $300M raised | [Official HOF Fund 2022 announcement](https://hofcapital.substack.com/p/hof-fund-2022), 2022-05-03 | Announced raised amount, not merely a target.

[Official HOF portfolio](https://hofcapital.com/portfolio/), undated, independently confirms holding. A co-investor page incorrectly gives March 2024; prefer company announcement December 2023. | | Cambrium | Synthetic biology, computational protein design and engineered biomaterials; collagen alternative NovaColl. | HOF named in EUR €8M seed led by Essential Capital, alongside SNR and Valor Equity Partners, announced 2023-10-31. | [Cambrium company-issued release](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/10/31/2769983/0/en/cambrium-secures-8-million-in-seed-funding-to-commercialize-new-class-of-performance-molecules.html), 2023-10-31.

Official portfolio corroborates holding; avoid treating the first meeting as closing date or copying Signal round amounts as verified. | | SpaceX | Reusable rocket engineering and satellite communications infrastructure. | HOF reports first investment in 2020 at approximately USD $46B company valuation, then subsequent follow-ons. Exact initial round/check/primary-versus-secondary structure unspecified. | [HOF investment retrospective](https://hofcapital.substack.com/p/why-we-invested-in-spacex), 2026-04-06. Company valuation is not investment amount or HOF fund size. | | Anthropic | Frontier foundation-model research and AI safety, rather than an ordinary application SaaS business. | HOF says it committed in February 2023 to the Series C announced May 2023 at roughly USD $5B post-money valuation; later follow-ons. | [HOF investment retrospective](https://hofcapital.substack.com/p/why-we-invested-in-anthropic), 2026-04-10.
