Backing engineers and scientists creating the future we want to live in.
We invest where deep domain expertise and AI breakthroughs make complex scientific and industrial systems computable and commercially actionable for the first time.
Three beliefs guiding our investment thesis.
The natural world is computable.
We back founders building AI platforms to open scientific discovery in domains that were never computable before.
AI for Science
e.g. Biotech, Neurotech, Materials Discovery
Critical industries are being automated for the first time.
We back founders with genuinely defensible positions scaling, hardening, and reinventing critical industries.
AI for Critical Industries
e.g. Agtech, Healthcare, Manufacturing
The architecture of intelligence is still unwritten.
We back founders building the foundations of what AI will become, and the infrastructure to run it securely.
