Bison Ventures is a specialized venture capital firm that operates at the intersection of 'deep tech' and 'frontier technology.' Based in San Francisco and Seattle, they officially launched their debut $135 million fund in late 2023. The firm was founded by Tom Biegala and Ben Hemani. Before starting Bison, both spent years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust and the Gates family investment office (Cascade Asset Management). Bison is focused on the physical and biological world. They have three core pillars: 1)AI in the Physical World: Moving AI beyond chatbots and into robotics, manufacturing, and autonomous logistics. 2) TechBio: Using AI and high-throughput data to engineer biology for healthcare (drug discovery) and industrial use. 3) Climate & Sustainability: Investing in new materials and energy solutions that solve commercial problems today rather than just theoretical future fixes.
