SOSV

SOSV is a global venture capital firm that operates early stage startup development programs. SOSV’s programs are focused on two broad areas. The first is revolutionary technology that promises the betterment of humanity and the planet. The second is cross-border markets, notably in Asia, that are ripe for explosive growth. The firm’s strategy is to invest in a small number of highly promising startups and use its deeply resourced programs to accelerate product development, acquire customers, and scale. SOSV companies consistently achieve funding led by top tier investors. SOSV joins seed, series A, and later rounds while providing founders with ongoing support and community. As of January 2022, SOSV had more than 1,000 portfolio companies and $1.2 billion in assets under management, reflecting a 40% increase over 2020. SOSV’s programs include hard tech-oriented HAX and life-science driven IndieBio. Both offer deep technical and regulatory expertise on-site as well as well-equipped lab and fabrication facilities. At Chinaccelerator and MOX, market-entry and product development experts help entrepreneurs win cross-border market opportunities across Asia. SOSV’s latest program, dlab, fosters new players in the blockchain ecosystem. Among the top companies in SOSV’s portfolio are NotCo, Perfect Day, Upside Foods, Yeelight, Opentrons, Shopal, Snapask, BitMEX and API3. On Earth Day—April 22, 2021—SOSV published the Climate Tech 100, a list of the firm’s top climate-focused investments working on solutions to climate change across five sectors: food, manufacturing, transport, energy, and buildings systems. In September 2021, SOSV closed a $50 million partnership with New Jersey’s Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) to open a 30,000 square foot co-working manufacturing and prototyping facility for its HAX program in downtown Newark, NJ.
