Pitch Tess

We invest from pre-seed to Series A in founders building AI, robotics and deep tech. If that's you, we'd like to hear from you, even if it's early.

  1. Name your idea

    One sentence on what you're building and for whom.

  2. Tell us about it

    Why now, what you've built so far, and what makes your team the one to do it.

  3. Share your deck

    Upload a deck or short demo. We read everything and reply when there's a fit.

What we look for

Robotics and embodied AI

Robots leaving the lab for factories, warehouses, farms and homes, and the data, simulation and deployment layers that make them reliable in the real world.

Applied AI and agents

Models and agents that do real work inside industries with deep domain knowledge: manufacturing, logistics, health and service operations.

Compute and infrastructure

The GPUs, developer tools and systems software that the AI build-out runs on.

Lab-to-market deep tech

University spinouts and scientist founders commercializing hard science, a path Tess knows from Stanford's Office of Technology Licensing and Waterloo Engineering.
