Investment thesis

SOSV positions itself as the most active deep tech pre-seed investor, making roughly 60 first-check investments of up to $550k each year plus around 150 follow-on investments through at least Series B. Founders join General Partner-led teams at labs and offices in San Francisco, New York City, and Newark for intensive support on product development, commercial and regulatory strategy, corporate connections, and fundraising. SOSV operates across the full breadth of deep tech, from physical AI and therapeutics to energy and critical minerals, and backs the theme of 'human and planetary health.' It supports founders with global reach, extensive lab infrastructure, a large co-investor network, and exit-focused programs.
