Perfil
Swell VC is a New York-based pre-seed and seed fund specializing in AI investments for critical infrastructure. The firm was founded by Rusty Ralston and Jay Patil, who have worked together as partners for over 15 years, first meeting in 2008 at an AI startup. Swell VC emphasizes their operational experience and direct involvement with portfolio companies, offering more than just capital by actively helping in building early-stage teams and providing strategic insights. Swell VC invests in Enterprise AI, Space & Defense, Bio, and Industrial sectors. They focus on autonomous systems, programmable biology, and technology that makes physical infrastructure as efficient as software. The firm operates primarily in North America and writes checks mainly in the $0-1 million range at the pre-seed and seed stages. Their portfolio includes notable companies such as Loft Orbital - space infrastructure, Crisp - reducing global food waste using AI, Deepnight - AI-powered night vision, and RyboDyn - therapies using untapped proteins. Their investment strategy is driven by a founder-focused mentality, recognizing and nurturing talent that others may overlook.
