Venture Science

Venture Science is an investment management firm headquartered in Sausalito, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 2012, the firm manages hybrid investment strategies spanning venture capital, growth equity, and public markets. Venture Science's flagship vehicle, the Strata Fund, is an evergreen hedge fund structure that invests in private companies (seed through late-stage), participates in IPO and ECM offerings, and maintains positions in listed equities. The firm's investment methodology applies quantitative decision science—including multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), probability-weighted expected value modeling, and systematic bias mitigation—to identify opportunities in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, life sciences, climate technology, and advanced manufacturing.
