Starship Ventures

Starship Ventures, founded in 2017 and based in San Francisco, focuses on investing in cutting-edge "deep tech" companies that aim to solve some of humanity's biggest challenges. The firm backs early-stage startups from Seed to Series B, with a particular emphasis on sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), advanced materials, and frontier technologies like CRISPR, 3D printing, and energy innovations. Starship Ventures supports contrarian founders who are building transformative technologies, often described as turning "science fiction into reality." Their portfolio includes innovative companies like BRINC Drones, which develops tactical UAVs, Atmos, which is reinventing custom homebuilding, and Pipedream Labs, which focuses on creating an underground hyperlogistics delivery system. The fund aims to support groundbreaking advancements in fields like sustainable agriculture, AI-powered financial solutions, and even space technologies​. Led by General Partner Sean Hoge, Starship Ventures actively empowers founders by offering strategic support and resources that extend beyond capital, helping to bring visionary ideas to life.
