Net Product Utilization
NPU backs founders at the earliest inflection, with more than a check behind every one.
The people behind you
When NPU backs you, you tap a network of operators and advisors across biotech, deeptech, defense, AI, and infrastructure. People who have built it, ready to help you build it too. You are wired into all of it from day one.
We back the founder, early
At the earliest stage, the founder is the business: the lifeblood, the conviction, the will to turn nothing into something real. We write pre-seed and seed checks on grit, judgment, and obsession with the problem, backing applied AI that compounds on proprietary data earned in the real world. Then we stay close once we are in.
