Named after "America's First CTO", Vannevar Bush, Vannevar Ventures is an early-stage VC fund and syndicate investing in the most ambitious founders on the planet mission-driven to modernize the technology infrastructure that powers the physical sectors and national security. In the wake of decades of domestic digitization and deindustrialization, (over)financialization and globalization, the great financial crisis, and COVID-19, there are macroeconomic, geopolitical, and technological forces converging into a tidal wave of change that will manifest in a generation-defining technology innovation cycle. Over the next decade, the highest density of power law returning venture-backed startups will come from the cohort innovating at the intersection of bits, atoms, and American Dynamism. https://vannevarventures.us/
