Programmable biology, gene therapies, and biomanufacturing platforms operating at the intersection of life and technology.
Advanced radar, photonics, and sensor fusion systems enabling the connected infrastructure of the future.
A selection of transformative companies from our seed-stage portfolio spanning aerospace, enterprise software, and beyond.
No-code relational database platform enabling teams to build custom apps and workflows without engineering resources.
Collaborative interface design platform that transformed how product teams prototype, design, and ship digital products.
Modular commerce platform powering next-generation retail experiences for enterprise brands and marketplaces.
Pioneer in sustainable supersonic commercial aviation, developing aircraft that will fly passengers at Mach 1.7.
The fastest email experience ever built, delivering AI-powered tools that help professionals achieve inbox zero daily.
We are more than capital. FailUp Capital brings deep technical expertise, a global network, and genuine long-term partnership.
We treat every founder relationship as a long-term partnership, not a transaction. We are at our best when our founders push the hardest boundaries.
Our team combines venture expertise with deep scientific fluency. We evaluate technology risk rigorously so we can invest with conviction.
From government labs to Fortune 500 R&D teams, our network opens doors that matter — customers, co-investors, and talent.
We specialize in the seed stage — the moment when the science is proven but the company has yet to be built. That is where we add the most value.
Our team shares frameworks, sector analysis, and lessons from the frontier of hard tech and deep tech investing.
The best hard tech companies cannot be built on 18-month runways. We explain why our fund structure is designed to match the pace of breakthrough science.
