ODDBIRD VC

ODDBIRD backs pre-seed and seed founders reinventing the critical industries that will re-industrialize the West — specifically healthcare, bio, critical supply chains, precision manufacturing, and real-world automation. The firm believes the cascading effects of COVID-19, military conflict, and tariffs have exposed the fragility of global systems, and that AI is now accelerating the rebuilding of critical infrastructure at a pace previously impossible. ODDBIRD looks for top global engineers who 'build past the API' — founders who command not just software but understand the full-stack implications of their work, creating deep moats through integrated capabilities across intelligence, data, distribution, and financing. The team, led by Dr. V (a decade at Lightspeed and a former founder/clinician), targets outlier technical founders developing bold, category-defining ideas that traditional capital has historically overlooked.
