The fund essentially operates as a micro-VC fund, meaning it can lead and co-lead seed investment deals, co-investing with larger multi-stage VC funds in early growth stage (Series B) deals.

It also launched the Visionaries Club science-driven “Tomorrow Fund” to support science-driven startups at the pre-seed and seed stages.
