2050 Capital is an early-stage deep tech & science investment organisation. We focus on enterprise software (with a deep science component), computational biotech, and engineering and science ventures. We invest in 2-6 deals per year and write $200-500k seed checks and up to $3m in subsequent rounds. Over 50% of our investments have been in follow-ons.
Anything that is not deep tech or science (e.g. market places, apps, marketing-led ventures) or that require lengthy R&D timelines (>7 years to exit).
