Investment thesis

SciFi VC is an early-stage generalist firm that partners with exceptional founders solving hard, valuable problems requiring curiosity, intellectual depth, and often science. It focuses on four areas: fintech, believing technology will power the next generation of accessible, efficient, and transparent financial products; artificial intelligence, spanning AI infrastructure and app-layer startups; science, aiming to turn science fiction into reality by investing in breakthrough technologies such as energy, biotech, brain-computer interfaces, and quantum computing; and everything else, seeking breakout companies in hard, regulated, or technical markets like enterprise software, healthcare, and security.
