Roadrunner Venture Studios

Our portfolio boasts over 300 active patents covering world-changing innovations. We back the teams we believe are best able to deploy revolutionary technologies. We have board representation at over 80% of our portfolio companies. We're committed to working alongside our founders to commercialize scientific discovery. Our portfolio companies have collectively raised over two billion dollars. We invest across the life cycle of a company from pre-seed to pre-IPO. Our Name The name, Fine Structure Ventures®, is perhaps most meaningful to the scientist-entrepreneurs we partner with. In physics, the fine-structure constant, commonly denoted by α (the Greek letter alpha), is named for the spacing between the spectral lines in the fine structure of the hydrogen atom. It is a dimensionless, fundamental physical constant which describes the interaction between elementary charged particles, such as electrons, and an electromagnetic field. If the value of alpha were much different from the one we know, it would impact whether nuclear fusion within stars produces carbon or whether atoms can form stable molecules–both of which are critical for life. The fine structure constant is moreover the single best predicted constant in all of physics. Quantum electrodynamics, a field founded by Julian Schwinger, Richard Feynman, and Freeman Dyson, predict its value from first principles, and the associated experiments match to 11 digits. At Fine Structure Ventures, we are also making predictions to realize alpha, used in this context to represent excess return on investment. We take a first principles approach, looking for technologies that, if realized at scale, would have obvious, dramatic, global impact. While we only aspire to the brilliance of Dyson or Feynman, we nevertheless seek unprecedented accuracy in our evaluation of investment opportunities. A Rich Legacy Fine Structure Ventures is rooted in one of America’s great entrepreneurial success stories. Fidelity Investments was founded in 1946 and grew from a single mutual fund into one of the largest asset management firms in the world, with over $2 trillion under management. For the last fifty years, our independent venture capital group has had the privilege of backing other great entrepreneurs as they built ground-breaking companies, including Atari and MCI in the early days. A Focused Team of Specialists Although we are backed by a resourceful global platform, we are a small team passionate about the impact science can make and singularly focused on the success of the entrepreneurs we are privileged to work with. We bring together decades of experience in investments, operations, entrepreneurship, and in scientific research.

We partner early with unstoppable entrepreneurs leveraging breakthrough science and technology to pursue progress at scale. Everything we do revolves around a single problem: What are the best ways to reconcile economic growth with human and planetary health? We invest in teams and solutions that address multi-decade problems that humanity has no choice but to solve. Our focusing questionsHow can we decouple improving living standards from resource depletion? How can we ensure food, energy and materials supply security when confronted by deglobalization, multipolarity and the distractions of the attention economy? How can we improve life on Earth and unlock future economic growth potential by leveraging next-generation computing and exploring outer space? How can the clean industrialization of biological processes reduce humanity’s impact on our planet? How we invest in unstoppable founders We look to problems and unmet needs first and then to which technologies and solutions have the potential to address those problems effectively. We don’t push any one type of technology or limit ourselves to one field. We look for founders and companies at the pre-seed and seed stages leveraging the three basic disciplines (physics, chemistry, biology) to engineer economically viable solutions. We look for teams that are uniquely suited to address the opportunity and its inherent challenges and for solutions that are radically better, technically viable, and defensible. Some of the areas we are keen to continue exploring include clean commodities, space technology, industrial decarbonization, electro- and green chemistry, next-generation computing, new materials & production methods.

An early stage VC fund focused on investing in Israeli DeepTech and SpaceTech from concept to creation. WHAT DO WE INVEST IN We pursue moonshots driven by breakthrough innovations, seeking companies with core technologies and visionary entrepreneurs dedicated to building impactful, world-changing startups. OPTICS & PHOTONICS QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES RF TECHNOLOGIES MATERIALS & CHEMISTRY COMPUTER SCIENCE & PROCESSING SEMI-CONDUCTORS ENGINEERING & ELECTRONICS HOW DO WE INVEST We work hand-in-hand with forward-thinking entrepreneurs, as early as the venture building stage, to develop pioneering Deep Tech companies. By utilizing our extensive expertise and resources, we expedite their path to success. WHY DO WE LIKE DEEPTECH The world is changing and growing more complex - the rise of AI, ever increasing climate challenges, the desire to move into an autonomous world, striving to reach the moon and stars - and existing infrastructure is not built to handle this complexity, necessitating a new generation of physical infrastructure which can break the physical barriers of today through cutting edge scientific innovation, enabling the applications of tomorrow.

LiquidMetal Ventures is a newly established venture capital fund based in Boston, aiming at investing in early-stage (Seed, Angel, and pre-A round) in a minority group, particularly deep-tech startups. LiquidMetal Ventures is based on deep-tech start-up communities and has a unique advantage in reaching out to ‘off-the-market’ early-stage deals and cooperating with peer VC funds tightly to reduce the risk, overall a high return could be expected. LiquidMetal Ventures focuses on biotech and healthcare, carbon neutrality, AI and data, infrastructure, and consumer tech. There is a huge tide of startups among Boston entrepreneurs in the US on the way. We would like to be the first to check VC with the founders.
