Our thesis

Phase Capital invests in technology-first, revenue-generating companies (pre-seed - Series A) at the intersection of AI, biology, and proprietary data. We focus on the adaptive data layer of biotech: platforms that continuously generate proprietary biological data, building the foundational infrastructure from which future therapies, diagnostics, industrial biology, and entirely new categories of innovation will emerge.

Accelerating tech bio companies

One phase at a time.

We surround our companies with the downstream capital partners, strategics, and commercial relationships that accelerate revenue and impact.

We put our founders in the rooms and on the stages where the right partners find them.

We do this through our annual Frontiers Summit and throughout the year hosting focused gatherings across North America, including in San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, Toronto, and Nashville.

Phase Capital has been our most helpful investor.
