Investment Thesis

Science first.
Technology second.
Markets always.

We back scientists and engineers at the pre-seed and seed stages, in sectors where the science is hard, the moats are deep, and the outcomes are consequential.

Our Philosophy

We invest before
consensus forms.

The best deep technology companies are built in the years before the world understands why they matter. We seek founders who have done the science, understand the path to commercialisation, and are building in areas where technical moats compound over time.

Our Asia-Pacific focus gives us proprietary access to the world's most advanced manufacturing ecosystems — in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan — and to enterprise customers who will be the first to adopt breakthrough technologies.

We typically lead or co-lead rounds of $1M–$5M, and we reserve capital to follow our best companies through to Series B and beyond.

Check Size
$500K — $3M
Initial investment at pre-seed and seed. We reserve 2× for follow-on.
Stage
Pre-Seed & Seed
We write the first institutional check. We thrive in ambiguity.

Focus Areas

Four sectors. Infinite depth.

01 / Advanced Materials
Advanced Materials
From metamaterials to programmable matter, we back the scientists rewriting what “stuff” can do. Materials innovation is the silent engine behind every hardware revolution.
02 / Quantum & Photonics
Quantum & Photonics
Computation, sensing and communication at the limits of physics. Quantum and photonic systems will underpin the next generation of computing infrastructure.
03 / Synthetic Biology
Synthetic Biology
Living systems as engineered platforms for medicine, food, materials and clean energy. We invest in teams treating cells as programmable hardware.
04 / Robotics & Automation
Robotics & Automation
Embodied intelligence for the factory floor, the farm, and the places humans cannot go. The convergence of AI and precision mechanics creates enduring moats.
