Thesis
Breakout Ventures, the venture capital arm of Breakout Management, LLC, is a science-focused investment firm that believes "the era of transformational science is here." They actively seek out and support early-stage companies (pre-seed, seed, Series A) at the intersection of biology, chemistry, computation, and artificial intelligence, aiming to accelerate the development of transformative solutions for human health and sustainability. Primarily focused on the United States, with some international interest, Breakout Ventures typically acts as a lead investor. Their strategy involves identifying "superhumans"—obsessed founders with deep technical expertise, world-class teams, and the ability to move with velocity. They are contrarian, backing companies that can achieve significant breakthroughs rapidly through lean teams, advanced data, and ruthless execution. The firm has a total AUM exceeding $230 million, with its largest fund, Fund III, closing in March 2026 with $114 million. Typical check sizes range from $1 million to $10 million, with an average check size of $20 million.
