Narya Capital

U.S. venture-capital investment firm associated with JD Vance and Colin Greenspon.

History and structure

JD Vance and Colin Greenspon founded Narya around 2019–2020 after working in the venture-capital industry, including Thiel-linked Mithril Capital. Reporting identified Peter Thiel as an investor in Narya’s initial fund, not the firm’s co-founder.

Current documented status

The firm now identifies Colin Greenspon among its leadership. Historical personal and corporate relationships should be dated to original fundraising and employment, without assuming Vance retains current operational control.

Investment approach and founding

Narya is a venture-capital firm built around investments in young companies rather than the direct administration of a government program. JD Vance and Colin Greenspon launched the enterprise after work in private investment. Reporting on its early fundraising identified Peter Thiel as an investor in the fund. Being an investor is different from being an officer or founder, and the roles are recorded separately here.

The venture fund's leadership and portfolio change over time. Greenspon remains identified in Narya's published team information, while Vance's subsequent career includes service in the United States Senate and the vice presidency. A historical investment relationship should not be represented as evidence that the investor controlled decisions in Vance's later government offices.
