Early-stage capital for deeply technical teams.
We invest at pre-seed and seed in technical and domain-expert founders building for the enterprise. Then we put our commercialization method behind every company.
Technical depth, guided to enterprise traction.
Deep technical expertise is the hardest advantage to copy. We back the teams who have it, and give them a method to turn it into enterprise traction.
We built that method across more than 750 companies since 2012. It can be taught, practiced and learned, and it is how engineering- and science-led teams close seven-figure contracts.
Deeply technical
Researchers, engineers and domain experts with real differentiation in what they build.
Built for the enterprise
Your customers are businesses, and you win them with a great product and a proven method.
Sector agnostic
Our portfolio spans AI, deep tech, data and analytics, developer tools, IoT, health, sales and marketing, manufacturing, financial services and more.
“In today's venture world, it is incredibly important, maybe more important than ever, that the best founders have access to resources beyond capital that give them leverage to accelerate their success.”
The facts.
Who we back best.
- You are a builder. You know this technology deeply, and that expertise is how you win your market.
- Your customers are businesses, and you know the sale is complex and needs a method behind it.
- You are ready to commercialize, and to get in front of customers now.
- You want support beyond the check: the skills, resources and capabilities that give you an unfair advantage.
Deep tech, proven in the enterprise.
We backed Rigetti early, and it became one of the first publicly listed quantum computing companies. Today we back a meaningful share of the world's early-stage quantum startups, and quantum founders like BlueQubit's Hrant Gharibyan and Hayk Tepanyan now serve as Alchemist Partners.
