Root Ventures

Root Ventures is a San Francisco-based deep tech seed fund. As engineers ourselves, we specialize in leading initial funding for founders tackling new technical opportunities. Our initial investments typically range from $2-3M. With a selective few new deals a year and 2/3 of our funds in reserve, we are committed to being a long-term partner, supporting each funding round and bridging any gaps in between.

With $325M AUM, Root Ventures has been investing in technical founders across two major themes:

• Founders that are building on the frontier of what’s possible: e.g. Wildtype, Adept, Tortuga, Chargelab, Oma Fertility, Kayhan, and
• Founders that are building the engineering tools so everyone else can keep up: e.g. Daily, nTopology, Great Expectations, Okteto, Meroxa
