Waterbear Ventures needs a brand to resonate with founders who are inventing the future

Waterbear Capital

Waterbear Ventures is a venture capital firm based in San Francisco and Vienna, Austria.

We invest in early stage companies that are using important new technologies like synthetic biology, machine learning/AI, big data, new sensors and personal tracking devices, and others.

We are particularly interested in entrepreneurs with a deep science/engineering background who are working on tough problems with obviously large societal impact. We are focussing on healthcare and digital health, as well as artificial intelligence applications in this space.

It also has a picture of our namesake, the waterbear or tardigrade. Wikipedia says about them:

"They have been found everywhere: from mountaintops to the deep sea and mud volcanoes;[8] from tropical rain forests to the Antarctic.[9] Tardigrades are among the most resilient known animals,[10][11] with individual species able to survive extreme conditions that would be rapidly fatal to nearly all other known life forms, such as exposure to extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and starvation. Tardigrades have even survived exposure to outer space."

That's what we look for in our founders/entrepreneurs. We believe they can be found anywhere in the world, and we want to help them cultivate the resilience that will be needed to see their visions come to fruition.
