Overview

What they do
Founded in 2020 by Scott Amyx, Astor Perkins is a deep tech and sustainability-focused venture capital firm. They position themselves as "divergent thinkers" who avoid crowded, overvalued sectors in favor of emerging, mega global industries of tomorrow. The firm is distinctive for its rigorous "forensic" due diligence approach, which scrutinizes governance, ethics, and culture beyond standard financial audits. They are highly regarded in the deep tech ecosystem, frequently syndicating alongside Tier 1 VCs and hosting exclusive quarterly events that connect startups with family offices and institutional investors.
