BIOPUNK VC

Pre-Seed Biotech Residency Fund

$25M Fund I

Request Deck

Biotech founders are hidden in labs. We find them first.

We discover exceptional scientists before they've incorporated their companies. Pre-Seed is the only stage where a founder's track record matters more than their ability to fundraise. With the patent cliff bringing $170B of M&A opportunities by 2030, we're positioned at the earliest stage of the next generation of biotech unicorns.
