Starship Ventures

Starship Ventures is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm that invests at the early stage in deep-technology companies. Its remit spans a broad set of technical domains: computing, AI infrastructure, software and networks, launch technology, space, autonomy, robotics, hardware, materials science, advanced manufacturing, energy, and biology - including biotechnology platforms, biotechnology tools, and therapeutics.

The firm describes its investment focus as the convergence of fundamental advances in atoms, bits, and biology with large markets, and states an orientation towards technologies intended to improve humanity's long-term trajectory and expand human agency. Starship Ventures targets particular founder profiles: contrarian founders, engineers, and repeat founders, on the thesis that small teams can change how people live, work, and move. Specific details on founding year, fund size, and check size are not disclosed.

Post-investment, the firm works directly with portfolio companies beyond capital, supporting product, distribution, capital strategy, and narrative, and connecting companies with specialist advisers as they scale. Sector coverage includes deep tech, hardware, robotics, energy, space, advanced manufacturing, AI infrastructure, software and networks, biotechnology, and therapeutics. The firm operates from San Francisco.
