What’s your thesis?
Retron is a deep tech fund supporting founders primarily at the pre-seed and seed stage. Our expertise is strongest in biotechnology and computation, and believe the convergence of the two will drive fundamental changes in human health. We believe that businesses that are technically ambitious, address real problems, and drive positive world impact generate both the best future and the best returns. We’re interested in the sciences, with a vast majority of our partnerships coming in what people call biotech/techbio. At the same time, we realize the best founders are able to identify opportunities before anyone else realizes they are interesting.
What is your check size?
We partner with pre-seed and seed companies at check sizes of $100-200k. Part of the fund will be reserved to deepen partnerships and grow our network at check sizes no larger than $250k. In all, this will amount to partnering with ~30-35 companies, ~5 of which we will deepen partnerships with in future fundraising events.
