Devland

About The Fund

Devland is an investment fund that primarily targets deeptech entrepreneurs aiming to introduce transformative ventures within various sectors, such as infrastructure, hardware, manufacturing, automation, robotics, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. They are particularly interested in founders who are either second-generation entrepreneurs or possess academic research backgrounds from R1 accredited institutions. Devland deliberately avoids investing in traditional internet products, social media, marketing technology, E-commerce, and entertainment-focused opportunities. Their investment range spans from a minimum of $50,000 to a maximum of $500,000, with a sweet spot at around $200,000, focusing on Pre-Seed and Seed stages of company development. On their website, Devland positions themselves as a critical ingredient in an entrepreneur's story, targeting those who are wildly gifted yet 'wildly underestimated'. Founded in 2016 with the belief that well-resourced entrepreneurs could instigate community change before creating broader world impact, Devland extends a comprehensive spectrum of support services aimed at fledgling entrepreneurs, including creators, small business builders, researchers, and startup innovators. They highlight their commitment to addressing significant societal issues through investments in critical areas such as space and innovation. Through their associated platforms, Devland also supports initiatives such as 'Sanctuary for Sustainable Artistry' and 'HiiiWAV for Artist Entrepreneurs', reflecting their broader commitment to creative and social entrepreneurship.
