Eric Bielke co-founded Fathom Fund after serving as Director of Temasek's Emerging Technologies Fund, bringing institutional rigor from his sovereign wealth fund experience to early-stage investing in dual-use and national security technologies like space, defense tech, and AI from Seed through Series B. He has been tapped for advisory roles at DARPA and NREL, positioning him as a bridge between frontier-technology founders and government stakeholders, while his background as co-founder of SoCore Energy (a commercial solar company acquired by Engie) gives him personal operator experience in the energy infrastructure sector he now backs.

Notable Investments
Fathom Fund is a Houston-based venture capital fund that combines McKinsey-style global energy expertise with institutional deep-tech investing experience, focusing on pre-commercialization technology platforms where significant technical risk remains rather than later-stage or purely software investments. The fund positions itself at the intersection of AI compute, climate/energy, advanced materials, and defense with an integrated thesis, and despite being founded in 2023, is already co-investing alongside heavyweight strategics and global funds in complex, capital-intensive deep-tech rounds.
