AI-native infrastructure
Compute, data, and tooling for the systems being rebuilt from first principles around foundation models.
Helix Capital partners with exceptional founders building the infrastructure of the next decade — AI, climate, health, and the financial stack that powers them.
We lead and co-lead pre-seed and seed rounds, writing first checks from $500k to $4M. Founded in 2019 by operators, we make fewer than 12 investments a year so every portfolio company gets a partner, not a portfolio slot.
We back teams where deep technical edge meets a non-obvious go-to-market. The next decade will be won by companies that fuse breakthrough science with operational sophistication.
