Investment thesis

Better Ventures backs mission-driven founders using AI, software, biology, and materials science to reshape core industries for the benefit of both people and planet. Its focus areas include climate and industrial decarbonization (electrification, biomanufacturing, green chemistry, recycling), the future of food and health systems (reversing chronic disease, extending healthspan, personalized proactive care, and food-as-health), and the future of work and skills (AI-enabled talent development and productivity for healthcare, manufacturing, and skilled trades). The firm believes purpose gives mission-driven companies a built-in competitive advantage and emphasizes AI applications for the real economy rather than only knowledge workers.
