SciFi VC

SciFi VC invests in early-stage companies whose defensibility is derived from hard technical feats, network effects, and complex highly regulated industries. We’re an early-stage generalist firm with an emphasis on fintech, marketplaces, and science. SciFi is Max and Nellie Levchin’s venture fund that partners with exceptional founders solving hard problems that require intense curiosity, intellectual depth, and often, science. Focus Areas: Fintech We believe that technology will enable the next generation of financial products that combine access, efficiency, and transparency for businesses and consumers. Our fintech investments include credit, infrastructure, insurance, payments, and real estate. Marketplaces Marketplaces are complex businesses that require intense intellectual rigor to build, and we deeply understand the underlying density dynamics. We are particularly interested in fintech marketplaces, labor marketplaces, and marketplaces digitizing huge legacy markets. Science Our mission is to bring science fiction to reality. We actively invest in the commercialization of breakthrough technologies such as machine learning, CRISPR, robotics, and quantum computing. Studying these breakthroughs in-depth ourselves enables us to be true thought partners with companies bringing these advances to the market.
