About Chris Erickson

Chris Erickson co-authored a 2024 Springer book called "Managing Technology from Laboratory to Marketplace: Cheating the Valley of Death," which uses live data from Pangaea's portfolio to offer a project-centered framework for hard-tech ventures, especially in advanced materials and energy transition. He advocates for a materials-first view of innovation that contrasts with Silicon Valley's software-centric playbook, arguing that the Fourth Industrial Revolution is driven more by upstream advanced materials, chemistry, and devices than by traditional IT.

Rounds
Avg Check Size

Pangaea Ventures is one of the earliest venture capital funds specializing in advanced materials, chemistry, and biology startups for 25+ years, with a corporate partner network of major industrial players like BASF, Toyota, and Samsung that gives portfolio companies direct access to supply chains needed for commercializing hard tech at scale. The fund operates a quantified impact model with explicit 2030 targets (55M tons CO₂ reduced, 153B m³ fresh water saved) that was externally audited and deemed "ahead of market standards" by impact specialist Steward Redqueen, positioning itself as a methodological leader in measuring hard-tech impact rather than just an impact-themed fund.
