Giant backs frontier technology founders rebuilding the foundations of civilization. There is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redesign how the world works. Profound technological breakthroughs are accelerating amidst climate crisis, demographic upheaval and geopolitical revolution. We champion entrepreneurs driven by purpose and relentless ambition to advance humanity.
Giant seeks companies reimagining foundational systems: energy, materials, industry, work, finance, biology and healthcare. We invest from first cheque to growth. From AI, robotics and automation to techbio, electrification and the future of work. Giant stands for technology as a force for good, crafted by high integrity founders.
Every one of Giant’s partners is a former founder or operator. Only once you’ve built startups can you fully empathize with entrepreneurs. We feel the intense sacrifice and resilience required because we’ve lived it ourselves. Giant moves at the speed of a startup and our team rolls up our sleeves.
Our heritage intertwines Californian optimism, Danish sustainability and British grit. We are on the ground in London, San Francisco, New York and Copenhagen with a team spanning seven nationalities. As one of very few truly transatlantic venture firms, we act as a bridge for companies expanding in both directions.
Giant backs a highly concentrated group of world-class founders with full conviction. Our preference is to lead rounds, particularly at seed. We prioritise depth over volume, and early belief over diversification. Our concentrated model means we can - and must - fight harder on behalf of every founder.
We believe breakthroughs occur at the intersection of separate fields. So we’ve convened star founders, CEOs, political leaders and athletes to supercharge Giant’s companies. Our advisors and board partners have run the world’s top corporations and governments. Our Limited Partners include industrial titans. And our exclusive partnership with the world’s leading consulting firm gives Giant-backed CEOs a unique edge to apply world class management to bold ideas. The globe’s top 200 purpose-driven leaders gather at the Giant Ideas summit.
