SeaX Ventures

About

SeaX Ventures is a venture capital fund investing globally in early-stage companies with groundbreaking “exponential” technologies. We support visionary entrepreneurs across the world on their journeys to build great companies.

We invest everywhere

In the U.S. In Southeast Asia. Everywhere that founders are working on great ideas, we’ll be there.

Centered on South East Asia expansion

Our LPs consist of a few of the largest corporations in the region. We work with them strategically by making connections to the innovative entrepreneurs in whose startups we invest. That way, both our portfolio companies and our corporate partners benefit.

Our unique 3As approach

  • Access: We provide our LPs access to deal flow globally with a focus on the U.S. and Asia.
  • Accelerate: We leverage the platforms and networks of our sister company (RISE) which has over 2000+ startup alumni across the U.S. and Asia and several hundred corporate partners.
  • Advantage: Our LPs are top multinational corporations and family offices. Collectively, we are a network of entrepreneurs, business partners, and co-investors.

Bridging Silicon Valley and Asia

Our knowledge of markets in both the US and Asia empowers us to identify and assist founders building audacious companies.

Our focus is deep-tech

We focus on exponential technologies that can transform societies and help countries achieve high levels of economic progress.

So far, we’ve invested in Web3, biotech, advanced materials, and AI but we are certainly not limited to those areas. We’re also looking to support groundbreaking companies in agriculture, space, robotics, and more.

Delphi Ventures

Our world stands at the threshold of a new era shaped by Trustless Infrastructure, Digital Intelligence, Atomic Breakthroughs. Over the next decade, these forces will render legacy models obsolete and form the foundations of civilizational change. Crypto Crypto is freedom technology. Fundamentally, it creates a new way for human beings to coordinate at scale, removing intermediaries and replacing them with code and incentives. With native monetization baked into open source technology, crypto represents both a computational and financial innovation simultaneously with massive surface area for experimentation. We believe these systems are early in a profound shift that will disintermediate every vertical where network effects are captured by centralized entities. Deep tech AI is ushering in a golden age of Deep Tech. A new breed of founder is gaining unprecedented execution leverage on complex science and engineering problems. This is powered by ever-evolving foundational models and massive capital outlays. This leverage compounds, driving breakthroughs in both bits (algorithms, synthetic data, advanced simulations) and atoms (robotics, bioengineering, materials science). We believe this confluence is fundamentally rewiring entire industries and tackle civilization-scale problems. Our story Forged in the fires of crypto, Delphi helped write the playbook for an entirely new class of founder that leveraged open source, composable primitives to rapidly innovate. Over the past 7 years, our broader hivemind has navigated the bleeding edge of technology from the researcher, builder, and investor perspectives. With the advent of AI, a new breed of founder is emerging with immense execution leverage both in the digital and natural world.

Navigare Ventures

Navigare Ventures is an early-stage investor specialized in science-driven companies. Through our investments, we strengthen the industrial and societal impact of research, as well as the long-term financial capacity of our owners, Wallenberg Investments AB. Our core investment themes within deep tech are underpinned by our knowledge and network in a number of scientific fields and industries. These include advanced computing and quantum technologies, synthetic biology and bio innovation, advanced materials and nano technology as well as data-driven life science. We are long term investors - Seed and Series A and beyond - and form deep and lasting partnerships with founders and entrepreneurs. Our extensive industrial and scientific networks gives us the opportunity to provide capital, network, and know-how to transform promising science start-ups into successful companies. Who we are Navigare Ventures, based in Stockholm, is a fully owned subsidiary of Wallenberg Investments AB. We are a team of scientists, industrialists and entrepreneurs who understand the challenges of turning cutting-edge technologies to successful ventures. As part of the Wallenberg ecosystem, our returns fuel the next generation of scientific advancement through research funding from the Wallenberg Foundations to Swedish universities. What we are looking for We partner with experienced entrepreneurial teams that combine scientific excellence with strong business acumen. In this respect, your company should have a unique offering based on a profound understanding of your scientific or technological field and its market and industrial environment. You should also be capable of demonstrating the viability and commercial potential of your product by engaging with real customers. You are raising capital to scale the R&D, production, marketing, and sales capabilities of your company. Our investment philosophy We only invest in companies we understand. While this is an important general principle in any investment activity, it is even more important when making early-stage investments in new technology. If we don’t understand your science, we won’t understand what experts tell us about the value chain and how it works, or what the competitive landscape looks like. And most importantly, we won’t be able to help you develop your strategy and navigate through the challenges of deep-tech start-ups. So, when preparing a meeting with us, don’t put too much emphasis on future revenue projections. That’s important too, in due time. But first, be prepared for long sessions in front of a whiteboard, explaining to us how your material, algorithm, or antibody functions. We don’t need to understand all the equations, but we need to get the heuristics. We are scientists at heart, eager to learn, and we carry a deep conviction that the world is fundamentally understandable. Core investment themesAdvanced computing and quantum technologies: Digitization and automation deepens in industry and society, driven by breakthroughs in computing and AI. Our focus includes improving existing technologies as well as finding completely new platforms in AI and other areas of applied mathematics as well as in novel computer architectures, communication technology, hardware and design. Synthetic biology and bio innovation: Synthetic biology and bio innovations contribute to a more sustainable society. Companies in this field often combine principles of biology, engineering, and computer science for the development of new biological products and manufacturing methods. Advanced materials and nano technology: New materials and nanoscale technology enable disruptions with the potential to benefit numerous existing industries. From quantum materials to biomaterials and biologically inspired nanostructures, we look for the most promising technology platforms in the field. Data-driven life science: Combining digital technology and data with life science drives scientific understanding and enables novel products. Our focus is on data-driven methods to increase personalization and precision of medical interventions, accelerate product development, digitalize care among other advancements.
