    Julian.capital is a deeptech seed fund that writes $750K checks. As engineers, marketers, and designers, we roll up our sleeves to design sites from scratch, build customer acquisition funnels, and find new hires—whatever's highest-leverage for the founder. We also built DeepChecks.vc, giving us the largest network of deeptech co-investors in the world.
