Intel announced plans to spin off its venture capital and investment unit, Intel Capital, into an independent company to improve operational efficiency.
The standalone entity, expected to launch in the second half of 2025, will operate under a new name, with Intel remaining a major investor. The transition will see the existing Intel Capital team move into the new organization.
David Zinsner, Intel’s co-CEO and interim CFO, called the move a “win-win,” allowing the fund to access new capital sources while maintaining a strategic partnership with Intel.
Founded in 1991, Intel Capital manages more than $5 billion in assets and focuses on investments in silicon, leading-edge technologies, devices and cloud infrastructure.
