About

SciFi VC is an early-stage venture capital firm founded by Max and Nellie Levchin. The firm invests in early-stage companies whose defensibility is derived from hard technical feats, network effects, and complex, highly regulated industries. SciFi VC focuses on fintech, artificial intelligence, and science, and supports startups from the brainstorming stage through Seed and Series A rounds, with opportunistic investments in later-stage companies. They aim to bring intellectual rigor and deep domain expertise to their portfolio companies.
