Investment thesis

DCVC invests in deep tech, backing founders who apply computational methods and AI to tackle trillion-dollar, real-world problems across industries that have seen little progress in decades. Its six flagship funds fund companies using AI in areas such as exa-scale computing, climate, engineering, materials science, robotics, space, water, biology, and defense and security. In 2018 it launched DCVC Bio, applying genetics, chemistry, molecular biology, agriculture, industrial fermentation, and AI to computational biology. The firm has one of the longest climate tech investing records among VCs, pursues ambitions in human health and food, and aims to automate dangerous, labor-short industries. It builds long-term relationships with founders.
