Our Thesis
We partner with founders at the earliest stages, building companies that will define the future.
At atypical, we believe the most important innovations of the next decade will emerge at the intersection of technology and the physical world. We're particularly focused on three areas:
Climate Tech
The climate crisis demands urgent innovation. We invest in founders building solutions for carbon removal, clean energy, and sustainable materials. We look for technologies that can scale rapidly and have measurable impact on emissions reduction.
AI/ML
Artificial intelligence is transforming every industry. We focus on specialized AI applications with clear business models, particularly those that solve complex problems in enterprise, healthcare, and climate. We value teams that combine deep technical expertise with domain knowledge.
Healthcare
Healthcare is undergoing a digital transformation. We invest in digital health platforms, biotech innovations, and medical devices that improve patient outcomes while reducing costs. We seek founders who understand both the technical and regulatory aspects of healthcare.
Our Approach
We invest $500K-$3M in early-stage startups, typically at the Seed or Series A stage. We prefer to lead or co-lead rounds, and we reserve capital for follow-on investments in our portfolio companies.
Beyond capital, we provide hands-on support in strategy, recruiting, and business development. Our network includes industry experts, potential customers, and follow-on investors who can help accelerate your company's growth.
