What is Science Creates Ventures?

Science Creates Ventures (SCVC) is an early-stage venture capital fund that specializes in investing in deep tech startups. They are based in Bristol and operate with the mission to transform scientific discoveries into impactful commercial ventures that address the world's biggest challenges.

SCVC's investment focus spans pre-seed and seed rounds, extending support up to series A funding. With a deep interest in a range of advanced technologies from biotech to quantum tech, the fund is committed to partnering with companies that are dedicated to improving human health and the well-being of the planet.

The SCVC team comprises deep tech experts and serial entrepreneurs who offer backing to founders with ambitions to bring about significant change. As part of the Science Creates ecosystem, the fund works closely with two incubators partnered with the University of Bristol and Research England.

These incubators support deep tech startups by providing over 45,000 sq. ft of specialized laboratory, office, and event space, while not taking any equity from the ventures they support. The incubator spaces are carefully designed by and for scientists and engineers, offering an environment conducive to innovation and business development. Additionally, SCVC leverages its extensive network of academic institutions, entrepreneurs, investors, and strategic service providers to offer tailored mentoring, expertise, and resources necessary for startups to thrive.

Science Creates also bolsters the local Bristol cluster by fostering a deep tech community, where scientific IP and graduates from universities have potential to develop locally, marrying strengths in technology and arts to open new avenues for innovation and entrepreneurship.
