We invest in exceptional technical founders at Seed through Series B, with deep conviction in AI systems, cybersecurity, and the critical infrastructure powering intelligent automation.
We look for asymmetric opportunities where technical depth creates durable competitive advantage.
The picks and shovels of the AI revolution: compute orchestration, model serving, vector databases, and the tooling that makes production AI systems reliable and efficient.
As attack surfaces expand with AI adoption, we back founders reimagining detection, response, and the security of autonomous systems operating at machine speed.
The shift from copilots to autonomous agents creates new categories in orchestration, observability, and trust-infrastructure that enterprises will require at scale.
We've been in the arena. Our approach is shaped by building and scaling companies.
We read the code, understand the architecture, and evaluate technical moats with founder-level depth.
Concentrated portfolio, meaningful ownership. We lead or co-lead rounds where we have high conviction.
Strategic intros, go-to-market guidance, and the operational playbooks that helped us scale. Available, never intrusive.
Patient capital with a multi-decade horizon. We optimize for building category-defining companies, not quick flips.
Before DeepQ Ventures, our managing partner founded and led a company that pioneered behavioral AI for threat detection. The company was acquired by a Fortune 100 technology company.
That journey, from writing the first lines of code to navigating enterprise sales and M&A, shapes how we evaluate founders and the problems they're solving. We know what it takes to build in regulated, security-critical markets where trust is earned slowly and technical excellence is non-negotiable.
Building something in our focus areas? We'd love to hear from you. We respond to every founder who reaches out.
