Atypical Ventures is a New York-based pre/seed fund. The team invests in "engineers with empathy" working on plausible science fiction. These engineers possess the raw IQ to build the “impossible” and the intellectual humility to inspire and recruit the right team of superpowers to build alongside them; they are working at the frontiers of where technology has finally advanced to solve some foundational problem.
At Atypical, the team believes that venture should create net new value and fuel progress. Examples of recent investments include: Lonestar (first data center on the moon), Norm Ai (regulatory ai agents), Parallel Bio (human immune organoids).
Atypical is on a mission to unlock the full potential of human innovation.
