Alsop Louie Capital 2, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership that serves as an early-stage venture capital fund vehicle managed by Alsop Louie Partners, a San Francisco-based technology VC firm (943 Howard Street; the fund's principal office was 50 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco). Its general partner is Alsop Louie Partners 2, LLC, and both sit under Alsop Louie Management LLC, whose CEO is Gilman Louie. The firm is private and small (roughly 1–10 employees per fund databases); SEC filings describe the Alsop Louie funds as pooled venture-capital vehicles. PitchBook lists Alsop Louie Partners Fund 2 (2010 vintage, fully invested) as the firm's second vehicle, with LPs including the Los Angeles County Employees' Retirement Association and SBC Master Pension Trust.
Operations. Alsop Louie Capital 2 has no products or services; it is a passive investment partnership that holds equity in early-stage technology startups. The firm's portfolio across funds has centered on cybersecurity, analytics, and consumer tech, including LookingGlass Cyber Solutions, Wickr, Aerospike, Ursa Major, and Centripetal Networks.
Patent-litigation posture. Alsop Louie Capital 2 is not a patent assertion entity — it has 0 tracked cases as plaintiff and 1 as defendant. It was sued solely in its capacity as an investor and related party, not as an operator of the accused technology.
Notable case. The single tracked matter is Centripetal Networks, Inc. v. LookingGlass Cyber Solutions, Inc. et al., filed September 14, 2021 in the Eastern District of Virginia (1:21-cv-01051, Alexandria Division, transferred to Richmond as 3:21-cv-00597). Centripetal sued LookingGlass, its CEO Gilman Louie, Alsop Louie Management LLC, Alsop Louie Capital 2, and Alsop Louie Partners 2, asserting patent infringement plus breach-of-contract and breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims relating to Centripetal's network-security technology. Context: Alsop Louie had invested in both parties — plaintiff Centripetal and defendant LookingGlass — and Louie served as LookingGlass's CEO while a partner at the firm. No source indicates the fund engages in patent monetization.
