Telescopic Ventures

What they do

Telescopic Ventures is vc firm focused on investments for applied frontier technology applications within B2B and enterprise sectors. Their investment philosophy, "Applied Frontier", guides their approach to the market. They are focused on the industrial and enterprise applications of frontier and emerging technologies. The founders they seek to work alongside are passionate, curious, capable in their respective fields and seek to apply that passion and talent towards solving the world's most challenging problems. They are a true seed and early-stage investment firm and like to take substantive positions in a company's first outside capital raise. They aren't afraid to lead, and will happily co-invest with partners whose engagement level is on par with their own. After their initial investment, they intend to follow-on up and through the first growth round -- they are in it for the long haul and through the ups and downs. They are fellow founders and entrepreneurs themselves, and try to add value when needed.
