Boom Capital positions founders as "scientist-protagonists" and focuses on the frontiers of science with a concentrated pattern across genomics, machine intelligence, new chemistries, and space, particularly at the intersection of biology and computation. Led by solo GP Celestine Schnugg with big-platform training from Eric Schmidt's Innovation Endeavors, the fund is known among deep-tech GPs as one of the small firms willing to underwrite very high technical and market risk, frequently backing underrepresented scientific leaders and running "secret meetups" to engineer collisions between emerging technologies and the people building them.
