Babylon

Babylon is a San Francisco-based pre-seed venture capital firm backing frontier science and hard tech founders in the United States. It typically follows rather than leads, writing about $200,000 checks for roughly 2% ownership and pairing capital with storytelling and category-creation support. The firm focuses on AI, robotics, space, manufacturing, energy, consumer, defense and dual-use, and food and agriculture, making it relevant for technical founders seeking early capital plus narrative support.
