Thesis
Safar Partners is a seed- to growth-stage venture fund investing primarily in technology companies out of MIT, Harvard, and the University of Rochester. We seek to deliver superior, responsible performance by selecting diversified investments across three industry sectors: cleantech/advanced materials, life sciences/medical devices, and AI/IT/robotics. With access to the most promising technologies developed by the brightest minds, we are often one of the first investors in our portfolio companies, helping them grow and achieve technological and financial success.Source (opens in a new tab)
