Reaching Beyond Conventional Boundaries
Our DNA
Chimera Ventures specializes in backing pre-seed and seed stage startups pioneering breakthroughs in deep tech and med tech. We identify outliers poised to disrupt major industries and solve the world's most critical challenges, positioning our portfolio for outsized growth and impact.
Our Approach
Chimera Ventures doesn't follow trends; we identify and back founders who dare to think beyond conventional boundaries and who are boldly combining deep technologies and diverse disciplines to deliver solutions that have the potential to fundamentally transform the human experience. Our investment strategy is built on:
- Early-Stage Investments: We engage with startups at the pre-seed and seed stages, providing not just capital, but also guidance and resources when they need it most.
- High-Impact Potential: We look for founders building solutions that can disrupt entire industries and deliver high magnitudes of improvement over the status quo.
- Interdisciplinary Innovation: We believe that the most groundbreaking advancements often occur at the intersection of different fields.
- Long-Term Vision: We're not afraid of moonshots. We invest in ideas that might seem ahead of their time but have the potential to shape the future.
- Emerging Sector Foresight: We identify and capitalize on transformative technological convergences in deep tech and med tech that are not yet widely recognized within the VC community. This positions us to capture value from nascent breakthroughs before they become mainstream, particularly where disparate disciplines intersect to create revolutionary solutions.
