At Boost VC We Don't Invest in the Marginal.

 

Boost VC has had an affinity for extreme solutions, we didn’t go into Fintech, we went after Crypto, we didn’t go after 3D software, we went after VR, we didn’t go after Carbon credits, we went after Ocean Data and Geo-engineering.

The universe wants to stay the same, but the earth demands change.

Boost VC will no longer entertain marginal solutions of the future. This is not bashing those marginal solutions that may be a necessity and may even perform well as an investment — It’s just not what we do.

We are investors in Coinbase - a category defining company bringing humanity to a new standard. We are investors in Colossal - bringing back the wooly mammoth. We are investors in Starfish — redesigning the way that things move in space. We are investors in Radiant — to bring the world to a nuclear energy standard.

When thinking about what we do invest in, it’s important to limit what we do not. We do not invest in marginal software for the consumer or enterprise.

We invest in startups that have no playbook, and can change the future, non-marginally.

Great people doing important things. Deep Tech is what people have started to call this category, but at Boost VC we are going to go more extreme. We want to work with you if you are energized by important problems, and have the self confidence to change things.

The most important problem is the failure of institutions: Financial, Academic, Health, Media, Government.

The second most important problem is the tragedy of scale: Climate is a result of this, The negatives of social media are a result of this.

Let us help you make change. Send us the most extreme solutions to the most important problems.
