ScienceVest

ScienceVest is a venture capital fund that invests at the earliest stages of science-led and frontier-technology companies, positioning itself as a first-money-in backer - that is, among the first external capital a founder takes. The fund describes its approach as high-conviction, concentrating on a select number of investments rather than broad index-style portfolios. Investments are made at pre-seed and seed stage, with an approximate check size of $125,000, and are intended to help convert promising technical work into companies and products.

The fund's stated technical remit is broad within the science and hard-technology spectrum: life sciences and biotechnology, batteries and materials, hardware, drones, green technology, sensors, blockchain and storage, and surgical technology. Common to these areas is the requirement for sustained technical development before commercial scale, and a longer gestation period than software investing typically involves. ScienceVest frames its role as supporting founders from breakthrough science through to real-world deployment.

Investment selection is oriented around a stated impact ambition of reaching one million or more lives per company. Beyond capital, the fund positions itself as science-led and founder-supportive, working with entrepreneurs from the earliest technical work toward meaningful impact at scale.
