Investment Thesis

Breakout Ventures invests in early-stage companies building research-based solutions at the convergence of biology, chemistry, and technology. Their fundamental belief is that the era of transformational science is here, and they back ‘obsessed founders who are the perfect fit for the opportunity they are tackling, who attract world-class teams and move with velocity.’ The firm operates from a position that ‘technology leverage as the great unlock for biology and chemistry to create transformative products,’ with conviction that ‘a future powered by science isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.’

What Sets Them Apart

  • Deep expertise in science-driven companies - team has spent a decade supporting such ventures 'moving with urgency'
  • Active network engineering - they 'don't wait for network effects; we engineer them' by bringing strategics, corporates, cross-sector investors, and industry advisors
  • Hands-on board participation - willing to 'roll up their sleeves to help nail the gritty details: running pre-calls, chasing down consultants, vetting new hires, whatever it takes'
  • Team of 'deep generalists and extroverted PhDs' with science backgrounds who speak the language of founders
  • Support through full journey from seed to scale with commitment to entrepreneurs 'for the celebrations when things work, and the late-night text when they don't'
  • Portfolio of 25+ companies spanning therapeutics, diagnostics, synthetic biology, carbon transformation, and materials science
