Thesis
Our thesis
Phase invests in technology-first, revenue-generating companies (pre-seed - Series A) at the intersection of AI, biology, and proprietary data. We focus on the adaptive data layer of biotech: platforms that continuously generate proprietary biological data, building the foundational infrastructure from which future therapies, diagnostics, industrial biology, and entirely new categories of innovation will emerge.
How we help
Accelerating tech bio companies
One phase at a time.
We put our founders in the rooms and on the stages where the right partners find them.
We connect our companies to the downstream capital partners they will need next, before they need them.
