Investment thesis

DeepWork Capital backs globally-scalable startups built in undercapitalized markets such as Florida and its surrounding regions, focusing on U.S. areas historically underserved by the venture capital community. The firm invests across a range of industries including life sciences, space technology, and B2B SaaS, targeting Seed and Series A stage companies. It is comfortable being the first institutional capital in a company after friends, family, and angel investors, and looks for tech-forward founders with dedication and passion who leverage the democratization of resources to build capital-efficient, globally-scalable companies.
