Anthropocene Ventures

Anthropocene Ventures is a San Francisco-based global early-stage VC firm investing in founders who leverage exponential technologies and hard science to make humanity more resilient. Founded by Matthew McGraw, the firm fills a gap in pre-seed and seed funding for deep tech climate hardware startups, focusing on overlooked but system-critical areas like water, built environment, and alternative materials rather than mainstream renewable energy. Anthropocene takes a global approach, helping deep tech founders - often scientists who lack startup experience - grow the business side of their companies and connect with international markets, particularly in Asia.
