Thesis

Make no little plans. Support revolutionary (not evolutionary) ideas that transform industries and benefit society. We partner with entrepreneurs solving massively multi-disciplinary problems at the intersection of AI, data, biotech, and deep tech. Our style of in-the-trenches venture capital doesn't scale—we make fewer than 10 investments per year so we have time to roll up our sleeves with every team we back.

Likely not a fit for

Consumer lifestyle apps, non-technical founders, incremental innovation, companies that won't benefit from hands-on operational involvement

F-Prime Capital$250K–$15M

F-Prime Capital is one of the few large global VC firms that has built over 30 companies from scratch rather than just backing existing startups, drawing on Fidelity's resources to combine deep healthcare and technology expertise with a structured company-formation engine that pulls together academic founders across multiple geographies. The firm operates with sister fund Eight Roads to create one of the broadest cross-border VC footprints, systematically syndicating ideas across the U.S., Europe, China, Japan, India, and Israel while maintaining a distinctive "technical-risk-yes, regulatory-risk-no" filter that avoids heavy regulatory categories like broad antibiotics in favor of rare diseases and gene therapy where FDA pathways are clearer.
