Transform VC is a Silicon Valley-based impact-focused seed fund that invests in overlooked and underrepresented tech founders who articulate and measure their technology's social and climate impact. The firm looks for category leaders building deep tech startups with AI, material science, robotics, complex engineering, or biotech at their core — combined with network effects, a 10x advantage over competition, and a measurable social or climate impact objective. As Raed Masri states, the mission is to "nurture and support 1,000 mindful tech founders to each impact a billion and make a billion using deep tech for social and climate impact," believing that outlier financial returns and outlier impact are simultaneously achievable.
Notable quotes
“One thing that is true about Silicon Valley is that it's a high velocity environment, so minorities by age, gender, race, pedigree, or anything else usually get filtered out very quickly. So, we have a special affinity towards those people who are generally overlooked and dismissed by others, especially the Middle Easterns in America.”
“We look for opportunities that exhibit deep technology, network effects, and a 10x advantage over the next best product, and entrepreneurs who are willing and able to move to the USA without any guarantees of success or receiving funding.”
“There's a lot to unpack, as women face challenges at large in the workplace, add to that the tech sector's VC landscape that has been biased to male-led ventures and leadership styles. We have senior female partners who lead the evaluation and selection of startups, and they are attuned to the unique challenges women face.”
