Patrick Scaglia is a venture capital investor at Blue Bear Ventures who transitioned from senior R&D and engineering leadership roles at Hewlett-Packard, bringing a practitioner's perspective to technology development rather than a pure finance background. He co-founded CITRIS Foundry at UC Berkeley, a university accelerator for deep-technology spin-outs, and serves as chairman of Y Combinator Research's Human Advancement Research Community, positioning him as an early institutional believer in deep-tech founders emerging from research institutions.

Notable Investments
Blue Bear Ventures spun out of UC Berkeley's CITRIS Foundry deep tech accelerator and maintains unique relationships with top research labs at UC Berkeley, UCSF, MIT, and Stanford, giving them unusually deep access to scientist-founders and university research. The fund focuses specifically on co-founding teams from labs working at the intersection of health and climate—such as gene therapy, synthetic biology, and next-generation batteries—rather than investing in lone founders or abstract ideas.
