We invest in meaningful innovations that decode and recode our world.
Awaken Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm investing in AI-enabled platforms and the entrepreneurs who build them.
We find ourselves in an extraordinary time of technological awakening.
From machine intelligence and precision agriculture to materials informatics and computational drug discovery, Awaken Capital identifies and enables companies creating products that address large-scale problems in multiple markets.
Investment Strategy
Awaken Capital is a platform investor.
This means that instead of investing in a single molecule, material, or new therapy, we invest in the platforms used to create them.
While vertical plays and industry-specific solutions can produce great returns, we find that truly nonlinear outcomes come from a platform-based approach.
We believe that AI-enabled platforms will power the most successful companies of our time.
