Headquarters

Focus
Deep Tech, Bio & Hardware

Overview

SOSV operates a portfolio of vertical accelerator programmes rather than a single general one, each with dedicated facilities suited to the technology it supports.

Its two best-known programmes — HAX for hardware and IndieBio for biotechnology — provide laboratory and prototyping infrastructure that generalist accelerators cannot.

Program Structure

  • Vertical programmes with dedicated physical facilities
  • Investment at programme entry, with follow-on capital available
  • Access to laboratory or prototyping space depending on programme
  • Technical mentorship from domain specialists
  • Multi-stage support beyond the initial programme

What They Look For

  • Genuine technical or scientific differentiation
  • Teams with relevant research or engineering backgrounds
  • Problems where hardware or biology is the core, not incidental
  • Realistic understanding of development timelines
  • Willingness to relocate to programme facilities
