SciFi VC is a venture capital and private equity principals firm that targets early-stage companies whose defensibility arises from hard technical feats, network effects, or operations in highly regulated industries. The firm began as a vehicle within Max Levchin’s startup studio, HVF, connecting it to a broader ecosystem of deep-technology entrepreneurship. With a small team, SciFi VC pursues opportunities that align with these criteria. Its focus is on early-stage ventures operating in technically demanding or regulated markets, where durable competitive positions can be built over time.

Positioning within the venture capital landscape, the firm emphasizes defensibility as a core criterion for pursuing opportunities.
