Commonweal Ventures

Commonweal Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm. We back founders building companies that matter for America. Today, our country faces great challenges, from competition with China and public safety to climate change and a broken healthcare system. These challenges provide immense opportunities for entrepreneurs with bold ideas. Our thesis is that founders can best seize these opportunities by partnering with the government. In sectors like security, defense, health, and energy, governments play a special role. Governments enable scale, fund innovation, determine market standards, tax, and regulate. While some see government as a roadblock, we know first-hand that working with government can unlock value. We focus on business models that can tap this potential.
