Ubiquity Ventures

Ubiquity Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital firm focused on what it calls software beyond the screen. It backs technical founders whose products move out of phones and computers and into the physical world, such as robotics, space, healthcare and climate technology.

Products and services

• Pre-seed and seed investment: The firm leads or co-leads early rounds in very small founding teams.
• Deep technical review: Diligence looks closely at the technology, and one decision maker gives a fast answer.
• Operator bench: A large group of experienced operators supports portfolio companies.
• Ubiquity University: Teaching material for technical founders on fundraising, boards, legal matters, hardware and investors.

Who it works with

The firm invests in smart hardware for business, machine learning applied to industries little touched by software, and the developer tools and security that support such products. It has backed about forty-five companies, from pre-revenue startups to very large private firms. Examples include a weather balloon company, an automated vision exam kiosk and autonomous patrol boats.
