About Prime Movers Lab
Prime Movers Lab is a deep-tech venture firm focused on backing scientifically-driven ‘breakthrough’ companies in energy, transportation, infrastructure, manufacturing, agriculture and human augmentation, with selective healthcare exposure including bioengineering, novel therapeutics platforms, regenerative medicine, brain-computer interfaces and advanced medical devices. The firm typically invests at seed and Series A, with check sizes plausibly in the $1M to $10M range and capacity to lead and follow on through Series B and beyond. Geographic focus is US-centric with strong Wyoming and West Coast presence. For healthcare founders, Prime Movers Lab is highly relevant if you are building a science-led platform company where physics, engineering, biology or other technical breakthroughs are the core moat, particularly in regenerative medicine, neurotechnology, advanced devices or bioengineering. The firm is a poor fit for digital health, healthcare services, healthcare IT, AI-only software and most consumer-health businesses where the technical moat is software rather than scientific or engineering breakthrough. Founders should expect rigorous scientific and technical diligence, demanding board engagement, and longer hold periods consistent with deep-tech investing patterns. Entry is best via warm introductions from technical advisors, university faculty, fellow deep-tech investors or corporate scientific partners; LinkedIn outreach to investment partners is workable. Cold outbound is less effective at this profile of firm. Founders should lead with specific technical foundations, IP positioning and a credible commercial wedge, and should clarify position size preferences, board posture and follow-on philosophy early in any conversation.
