1789 Capital

Activities

1789 Capital, named for the year the Bill of Rights was adopted, was founded by Omeed Malik, founder and CEO of Farvahar Partners; Christopher Buskirk, co-founder of the Rockbridge Network; and Rebekah Mercer, director of the Mercer Family Foundation. ²

In 2023, 1789 Capital launched a $150 million fund to create a new framework for investing that it called Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Growth (EIG). EIG is meant to oppose the standards of ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance) investing. 1789 Capital claims that ESG stocks have underperformed, creating an opening for alternative capital provider and guiding investors towards non-woke companies. ³

In 2024, Donald Trump Jr., co-founder of the Rockbridge Network and son of President Donald Trump, joined 1789 Capital instead of taking a position in the second Trump administration. ⁴
