Thesis
ACME Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The firm's investment thesis focuses on "deep-tech founders who pair technical ambition with decisive execution," investing in frontier technologies before they become mainstream. ACME Capital targets pre-seed, seed, and Series A funding rounds, with a sweet spot in late Seed and Series A, often leading rounds and taking board seats. They also participate in pre-seed rounds for exceptional founders and later-stage follow-on investments. Their geographic scope includes the United States and Europe. The firm avoids pure consumer plays without technical differentiation, late-stage financial deals, and commodity services. Strategic verticals include Aerospace & Defense, Healthcare & Digital Health, Biotech & Life Sciences, Physical AI and Advanced Materials, Next-generation manufacturing, Quantum Computing, Enterprise Software and SaaS, Fintech, Web3, and Industrial Systems. ACME Capital manages approximately $1.5 billion in total capital commitments. Their typical investment range is between $1 million and $15 million, with a sweet spot around $1.5 million for seed and Series A investments.
