Our journey so far
Positron Ventures was founded by Joseph and Gijs in 2022 based on a shared passion for science, technology and early stage companies - and on the conviction that the next wave of innovation will come from breakthroughs in science. In order to contribute to bringing these much needed innovations to market, we believe that a new type of VC is required; one that engages with scientist-entrepreneurs at an early stage, one that is able to assess startups working on highly technical innovations and one that offers support with patient capital and operational help if required. In three years, we have built a team of five and invested in nine moonshots. See our website for more details on the team and portfolio.
