The Future is Physical

Physical World backs pre-seed and seed founders transforming critical industries. Our role is to help translate early breakthroughs into enduring companies - through early conviction, long-term planning, and access to a global network across industry, government, and funding.

Physical World was founded by Kelly Chen, former Partner at DCVC ($4B+ AUM) and Founding Partner of the €1B NATO Innovation Fund.
