Pack Ventures

Pack Ventures is a venture capital firm focused on early-stage investing, with a mandate concentrated on artificial intelligence, life sciences and deep technology. Its investment activity is anchored in the University of Washington ecosystem: the firm backs campus teams, alumni and students, and targets sectors in which the UW community - its research base, industry links and entrepreneurial networks - can materially assist a company's development. The firm is based in Seattle, Washington.

Alongside capital, Pack Ventures provides hands-on support tailored to the specific challenges of each portfolio company. Areas of work include recruiting, financial planning, introductions to customers and advisors, product roadmapping, competitive research and preparation for follow-on financing. Support is delivered in collaboration with founders, co-investors and industry experts, reflecting a working model that is explicitly founder-first and community-driven.

The firm also runs a fellowship programme for students interested in venture investing and in supporting entrepreneurs, designed to build connections across the UW founder community. For candidates, the practical profile is one of an early-stage, sector-concentrated investor where sourcing, diligence and post-investment work are all tied to a single university ecosystem across AI, life sciences and deep technology.
