We identify world-changing opportunities in America’s research ecosystems, partner with exceptional teams to build scalable companies—and stay with them for the long term.
Innovation is broadly distributed. Capital is not.
Alpha Endeavour is an AI-first venture investment company — a C corporation, not a fund — built to find and build breakthrough companies where capital doesn't usually look.
Deep university and laboratory relationships in underserved research communities give us access others don't have.
As a C corporation rather than an LP fund, we hold Seed and Series A positions for as long as the technology needs — not as long as a fund cycle allows.
Artificial intelligence runs through everything we build and back, whatever industry the portfolio company serves.
Astronaut leadership, deep technical operators, and seasoned investors — a strong, well-balanced team, with one seat still to fill.
The next generation of world-changing technology is being invented far from the coasts — in university labs and federal research centers the capital markets never visit. We hunt where others don't even scout.
Communities anchored by major research universities and government laboratories — a billion dollars or more of annual research, and almost no institutional capital.
Active partnership and faculty presence at one of the nation's most productive engineering research universities.
Active partnership in one of the fastest-growing research corridors in the country.
Emerging university relationships in regions underserved by venture capital — demand without competition.
Direct engagement with federal labs whose breakthroughs rarely find commercial capital.
Seed and Series A — first institutional capital in, before the coasts arrive.
Entrepreneurial experience and operating assistance to every portfolio company.
We stay out of university tech transfer — and fund ventures once the technology is successfully licensed.
Highly scalable technology ventures with billion-dollar potential. Nothing smaller.
Zoom in far enough, and every dot on the night side of Earth is somebody's venture. These are stories from the descent.
Ventures anonymized by agreement. New stories join this list as founders give permission — this page is meant to keep growing.
Built to compound value, not force exits.
Alpha Endeavour is structured as a C corporation with permanent capital — a partnership built for decades, not a single fund cycle. It's the compounding playbook Berkshire Hathaway made famous, applied to deep technology.
AI doesn't just power our portfolio. It runs the firm.
Every portfolio company is built or backed with agentic AI as a core capability — a force multiplier applied from day one, not bolted on later. And the firm itself runs on a proprietary agentic platform that executes nearly every venture function: sourcing, diligence, monitoring, operations.
The same leverage we give our companies, we apply to ourselves.
"Think Big" is not a slogan here. Our CTO, Terry Virts, spent 200 days looking at Earth from this window. That vantage point — whole systems, no borders, zero tolerance for failure — is how we look at technology.

An astronaut. A serial AI entrepreneur. A proven venture operator. Our most powerful differentiator is who is in the room.
