Connect Now01 / The fund
Companies using computation, scientific expertise and real-world systems to change important industries. The firm's portfolio spans medicines, materials, agriculture, robotics, energy, quantum computing, space and national security.
DCVC's flagship, Energy + Climate and DCVC Bio strategies are distinct. In September 2024 the firm announced over $700M across a dedicated Climate fund and DCVC Bio III. A newer October 2026 SEC amendment for DCVC VII reports $653,540,250 sold against an $800M offering, including partner commitments. That is a filing snapshot, not a claimed final close.
A current firm-wide first-cheque range could not be verified. A 2020 public pension memo described DCVC Bio II initial investments of $5M-$10M, with seed cheques sometimes below $1M. This is historical, specific to Bio II, and not shown as today's firm-wide terms.
