Investment Thesis

They focus on markets where “hard-earned domain insights are necessary to create enduring value,” particularly at the intersection of computing and biology, and provide operational infrastructure (a dedicated Build Team, network, and long-term support) to help technical teams scale from day one.

Value Add

Dedicated early-stage Bio fund ($200M) that is exclusively focused on life sciences technical founders
Built-in Build Team (sales, recruiting, growth, marketing, design, writing and talent operating partners) that works in structured, goal-oriented engagements alongside portfolio companies
Community of 150+ technical founders and regular founder-focused programming (retreats, workshops, channels) to accelerate founder learning and network effects
Track record of nonconsensus, early bets on technical founders (examples cited: Datadog, Fastly, Recursion, Modal, Runway, Axiom, Tahoe Therapeutics, Bexorg)
Firm rhetoric and processes oriented to being the ‘first investor’ and backing founders when they’re still mostly ideas rather than waiting for traction
