Investor in San Francisco, California

## About Techni Ventures

Techni is a pre-seed/seed fund investing $500K–$1M in AI & DeepTech companies across healthcare, photonics, inference, and AI infrastructure. Based in San Francisco, California, the firm's name derives from the Greek "téchni," meaning art, skill, or craft.

Beyond capital, Techni positions itself around a simple philosophy: "We invest. We help." — signaling a hands-on approach to supporting founders through the earliest, highest-risk stages of company building rather than purely writing checks.

The fund concentrates on deeply technical domains within AI and DeepTech, favoring startups solving hard infrastructure and inference challenges alongside healthcare-focused applications. Notable investments include Volantis CGM, Epistemic.AI, Dr.B, PatientGenie, Lockebio, MemoryStore, Selvlabs, and GlacisLabs, with Kilo among its exits via acquisition.

Techni's investment criteria center on pre-seed and seed-stage companies building genuine technical depth in AI infrastructure, inference, photonics, and healthcare, reflecting a preference for founders tackling scientifically or technically demanding problems over surface-level AI applications.
