Who we are

We are two founders turned GPs. We built and exited AI companies before backing them, and now we invest where software never landed: the physical economy. Cerulean is the blue-green of forests and oceans; that is the economy we work for.

Funding Requirements

We invest in founders applying AI to the physical economy: food and ag, energy, supply chains, manufacturing, oceans. AI will finish what software started. Sometimes we're alone on the cap table with you. We like it that way.

Value add

We are founders with exits, with deep product management and marketing expertise. We connect our portfolio with climate NGOs, policymakers, and enterprise customers, and help founders get to market readiness as fast as possible. We're very hands on.
