Established by Les Vadasz in 1991, Intel Capital (originally named Corporate Business Development) was the first corporate venture capital firm.

Many of these companies were engaged in the manufacture and development of chips, equipment, and software that fueled the demand for high-end personal computers. Intel Capital now makes investments internationally across North America, Western Europe, Israel, and Asia Pacific.
Intel Capital curates thousands of customer introductions each year between its portfolio companies and the Global 2000. With more than US$20 billion invested over three decades, Intel Capital has become the world's largest corporate venture firm dedicated to advancing the future of compute.
In January 2025, Intel announced that it would spin off Intel Capital into a standalone company.

Notable exited Intel Capital investments include Red Hat, VMware, MongoDB, ASML Holding, Spot.io, Astera Labs, BabbleLabs, Joby Aviation, CloudGenix, Accurics, Venafi, IMS Nano, iZettle, Moovit, Habana Labs.
