Investment thesis

TSVC is a Silicon Valley seed-stage venture firm founded in 2010 by serial entrepreneurs and engineers, focused on partnering early with technically ambitious founders tackling difficult challenges. Its portfolio spans more than 200 early-stage companies, including over 12 unicorns and public firms such as Zoom, Carta, and Ginkgo Bioworks. Today the firm concentrates on the next wave of innovation at the intersection of AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, and energy systems. TSVC anticipates a 'Physical AI economy' in which intelligent machines, autonomous systems, and next-generation infrastructure transform the physical world, and it seeks founders aiming to build the defining companies of that future.
