Designing the Infrastructure of the Future,
One Venture at a Time

Investment-ready,
dual-use deep tech.

Our mission is to transform foundational breakthroughs into scalable ventures that shape the future of industries, infrastructure, and society. From advanced materials to aerospace, we back ventures shaping the foundation of tomorrow’s economy.

Our job is to ensure that breakthrough startups get the clarity, resources, and strategic support they need to resonate with investors, government partners and the market at large.

Our Focus Areas

Intelligence
Systems that think, sense, and adapt.
We back startups developing technologies that extend and augment human decision-making — from real-time sensing to autonomous action. These systems form the cognitive layer of tomorrow’s industrial, defense, and infrastructure platforms.
Investment Themes
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
Autonomous Systems & Robotics
Next-Gen Sensors & Edge Computing
Cognitive Infrastructure & Human-Machine Interfaces
Matter
Engineering at the level of atoms, materials, and biology.
We invest in companies advancing the physical building blocks of tomorrow’s technologies — from next-gen materials and quantum systems to bioengineered platforms and core semiconductor innovation. These breakthroughs are redefining the limits of performance, scale, and sustainability.
Investment Themes
Advanced Materials & Nanotech
Bioengineering & Synthetic Biology
Quantum Technologies
Semiconductor Fabrication & Innovation
Energy
Creation, storage, and distribution of power at scale.
We back technologies that enable resilient, scalable, and strategic energy systems — from next-gen storage and nuclear breakthroughs to grid intelligence and energy-harvesting innovations. These ventures power the infrastructure and autonomy of the future.
Investment Themes
Battery & Energy Storage Systems
Nuclear (fission & fusion) Technologies
Grid Infrastructure & Smart Transmission
Decarbonization & Energy Harvesting Tech
Motion
Propulsion, logistics, and the systems that move us.
We invest in technologies that move people, goods, and systems across physical space — faster, safer, and with greater precision. From spaceflight to logistics, autonomy to infrastructure, we back the next layer of mobility and movement.
Investment Themes
Aerospace & Spaceflight Systems
Advanced Manufacturing & Supply Chain Tech
Precision Navigation & Mobility Platforms
Transportation Infrastructure & Autonomy
Beyond
Frontiers not yet fully defined — but inevitable.
We invest at the edge of what’s emerging — where scientific possibility meets strategic imperative. From orbit to interface, and climate to computation, we back the boldest ideas shaping the next order of technological capability.
Investment Themes
Space-Based Infrastructure
Beyond Technology
Climate Engineering & Geo-Innovation
Emerging Paradigms (e.g., brain-computer interface, time-domain tech)

Stages

01
Pre-Seed
Where scientific insight begins its transformation into scalable impact. We support technical founders turning deep research into first prototypes.
02
Seed
Where the idea becomes a venture. We invest when core technology is validated, and the path to real-world application begins to take shape. It’s about sharpening the narrative, securing early traction, and laying the infrastructure for scale.
03
Seed+ / Bridge to Series A
We support founders as they prepare for Series A: refining go-to-market strategies, building operational muscle, and raising capital to accelerate growth into the next phase.
The Founders We Back
When the world changes, who leads the shift?

Phase Shift Ventures backs early-stage deep tech startups primarily at the pre-seed and seed-stage.  We are seeking deep tech startups that have a lab prototype progressing to an advanced prototype and on to market.

We back engineers, scientists, and systems thinkers building the infrastructure the future will rely on. Phase Shift Ventures is here to help them scale it with clarity and endurance.
