We can do better.
Instead of the next AI calendar optimizer: medicine designed for your genome. Cargo crossing oceans without emissions. Cities on other worlds.
If you're a scientist or engineer who wants to build this future -- 5050 applications are open.
Hundreds of deeptech VCs were asked: which two funds are most helpful to founders?
@fiftyyears ranked in the top tier 🥹
No compliment means more to us than "helpful to founders." We'd take it over anything -- smart, great returns, even good looking.
Ten years ago, almost everyone told us the same thing: back companies solving humanity's biggest problems, and you'll have to accept lower returns.
Today we sent our LPs a note announcing that Fifty Years Fund I has reached 7.5x DPI.

We built the lab that's able to go from AI-led drug design to data in 24h.
GPT-8 won't be bottlenecked by intelligence. It needs a biological compute layer.
This is Capable. We're turning AI capabilities into human capabilities--starting with short-sleeper peptides.
The crazy headline is the 24 hour turnaround from AI design to in-vivo data. But everything that's gone into that is what makes Capable special.
132 interviews for one hire.
A second orthogonal system to validate every surprising result.
Bringing in external labs to check
Chunghwa Telecom and Astranis are building Taiwan's first dedicated satellite to deliver secure digital infrastructure for flexibility and resilience. The partnership will also provide a critical real-time backup against natural disasters, submarine cable disruptions, and
I chose to partner with 50 Years because they deeply care about enabling humanity to flourish and making their founders the best versions of themselves.
On every single step along the way they double and triple down. Couldn't recommend Seth & the team more.

We're a vibrant and intensely mission-driven team in San Francisco from MIT, Harvard Medical School, Roche, ETH, and Dana-Farber.
We're grateful to be backed early with $12M by:
- 50 Years & HOF
- OpenAI executives Wojciech Zaremba, Kevin Weil, Srinivas Narayanan, and Fidji Simo
