Investment thesis

Union Labs Ventures is a DeepTech seed fund that invests in exceptional founders from diverse backgrounds who are applying deep technologies to solve hard problems in the physical world. Core focus areas include Industrial IoT, Consumer IoT, Health, Climate Tech, InsurTech, Cyber Security, AI/Machine Learning, Autonomous Technology, and Manufacturing. Founded at Kleiner Perkins with support from Google Ventures, the firm takes an active, hands-on approach—co-creating companies alongside founders and entrepreneurs-in-residence, often writing the first institutional check ($500K–$2.5M) at pre-seed or seed stage, primarily in North America. The firm emphasizes being a 'day-zero ally' to founders, accelerating their journey to product/market fit through a collaborative, operator-led model.
