Boom Capital

Boom Capital, founded in 2016 by Celestine “Cee Cee” Schnugg, is a San Francisco-based venture fund focused on early-stage investments in cutting-edge scientific fields. The firm specializes in deep tech sectors, including healthcare, genomics, machine intelligence, aerospace, and innovative chemistry. Boom Capital's unique value proposition is its deep integration into the scientific community, giving it first access to groundbreaking companies born from frontier science. Leveraging a network of top-tier scientists, including Nobel Prize winners, the firm is positioned to partner with founders long before their ideas are widely recognized. Boom Capital has a track record of identifying transformative technologies early and providing significant support in terms of capital and mentorship. Its portfolio boasts notable companies such as Mammoth Biosciences, Diligent Robotics, Fauna Bio, and A-Alpha Bio, all leaders in their respective fields. The firm has also seen several successful exits, including Planet Labs and Swarm Technologies—the latter being acquired by SpaceX. With a focus on accelerating the journey from research to commercialization, Boom Capital is committed to nurturing the “scientist-protagonists” who are pushing the boundaries of innovation. Its mission is to support high-impact founders with transformative potential, often before traditional investors take notice. By offering not only capital but also access to a vast network of scientific and technical expertise, Boom Capital plays a crucial role in turning visionary ideas into successful ventures.
