MoreThan Capital Opens First Office in North America
MoreThan Capital opened our first physical office at Rice University's Nexus space at the Ion in Houston. MTC is thrilled to be part of Rice's flagship innovation hub in the Ion District, designed to help faculty, students and alumni founders, and a small number of select VCs like MTC turn breakthrough research into high-impact startups. Spanning 10,000 square feet across two floors of the Ion building, the state-of-the-art facility provides the space, resources and industry connections needed to scale new ventures, with AI as a central pillar of its innovation strategy.
