AIR Capital

AIR Capital is an early-stage venture fund that invests from pre-seed through Series A in disruptive, often deep-tech startups addressing what it describes as significant human and planetary challenges. The fund is led by Founder and Managing Partner Ignacio Peña and works with founders on a global basis, spanning the United States, Europe, Israel and Latin America.

The investment approach is described as sector- and technology-agnostic, with a strong emphasis on deep tech and exponential technologies. Areas of interest listed by the fund include biotechnology, space technology, artificial intelligence, clean energy, robotics, advanced mobility and food technology. Portfolio construction is organised around three themes: abundance, defined as unlocking productivity gains; inclusion, defined as lowering the cost of basic human needs; and regeneration, defined as advancing technologies that could help heal the planet.

Stated in the fund's own terms, its mission is to back entrepreneurs building a future of abundance, inclusion and regeneration, investing in disruptive innovations that matter for humanity. Further details on fund size, vintage and portfolio composition are not publicly disclosed.
