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.’
