Deep tech founders deserve investors deep in tech.

Deep tech is changing the world and breaking the old venture capital model. Investing in deep tech demands a new paradigm: new capabilities, new insights, and a new kind of partner.

Our Belief

Our Belief

We believe the next decade belongs to those who build where bits meet atoms—turning foundational technologies into real-world systems that shape industries, nations, and the everyday. That’s why we invest in four key frontiers of the deeptech transformation.

Next-Gen AI

Next-Gen AI

Next-Gen AI

There will be AI beyond LLMs. We love founders pushing the edges of AI, whether it’s redefining the post-LLM era or building full-stack AI companies with deep moats, we back companies creating lasting technical edge where others just fine-tune.

Future of Compute

Future of Compute

Future of Compute

We want to back breakthroughs that enable the next frontier of compute — faster chips, new materials, and post-silicon revolutions. From novel foundry technologies to photonics, we back bold teams rethinking what’s possible as we approach the end of Moore’s law to technologies that power new computing paradigms. 

Intelligent Automation

Intelligent Automation

Intelligent Automation

We are in dire need of builders automating the physical world, where AI meets robotics, precision manufacturing systems, and industrial grit. In a world short on time and talent, we need to produce more with less. We invest along the whole value chain from design tools for faster prototyping to complete software-defined lights-out factories. 

National Technology Sovereignty

National Technology Sovereignty

There is an opportunity for a generation of companies reclaiming control of critical infrastructure — energy, logistics, connectivity, and beyond. These founders rebuild these industries with a digitally native tech stack - cloud, AI, and next-gen systems - while restoring resilience where it matters most.

We invest at pre-seed and seed. But if your valuation, R&D risk, and traction are aligned, labels don't matter much to us.


We don't discriminate against hardware.


We believe techies make the best deep tech sales people – and the best deep tech investors.

We appreciate application engineering – but we probably wouldn't invest in it.


Deep tech's problem space is often opaque. Our job is to help that problem space – and the market – for your technology.


You should build your own tech. But if you ever want a second opinion, we (and our R&D company) are here for you.
