Tyche Partners

Tyche Partners is a venture capital firm based in Los Altos, California, investing primarily in US-based hard-tech companies. It backs early and early-growth-stage startups in cloud and enterprise infrastructure, 3D printing and advanced manufacturing, robotics and automation, artificial intelligence, and semiconductors and high-performance computing. The firm looks for disruptive, technically ambitious products capable of a 10x performance improvement over incumbents, backing founders building hardware- and deep-tech-driven companies rather than pure software plays. Investments span seed through growth stages, with typical checks in the low millions to around ten million dollars, and the firm both leads and participates in rounds, often alongside co-investors such as Kleiner Perkins and other hard-tech-focused funds. Its partners are self-described technologists and former entrepreneurs who work closely with founders pursuing industry-redefining breakthroughs. Outreach is handled through the firm's website and direct contact with its team.
