About This Fund
MFV Partners Fund II is the second flagship venture capital fund managed by MFV Partners, an early-stage deep technology investor founded in 2018 and based in Los Altos, California. MFV Partners was established to back visionary entrepreneurs building breakthrough solutions at the intersection of hardware, software, and advanced materials — specifically targeting companies where deep scientific and engineering innovation creates defensible, long-duration competitive advantages. The firm's distinctive "physical AI and deep tech for real-world industries" thesis distinguishes it from generalist software-focused venture funds, focusing instead on the physical technology stack that powers next-generation industrial transformation. Fund II continues the investment discipline established by MFV Partners Fund I, deploying early-stage capital into the firm's four core verticals.
MFV Partners Fund II concentrates on four transformative sectors: Robotics and Physical AI (autonomous systems, humanoid robotics, sensor networks), Quantum and Next-Generation Computing (quantum processors, photonic interconnects, advanced semiconductors), Energy Transition (grid technology, clean power systems, energy storage materials), and Advanced Materials (novel composites, functional materials, nano-engineering). Portfolio companies predominantly operate in the automotive manufacturing, logistics and supply chain, precision agriculture, healthcare automation, and climate technology spaces — large industrial sectors where hardware-enabled innovation drives multi-billion-dollar market opportunities. MFV Partners' Silicon Valley location provides deep access to Stanford, Berkeley, and the broader Bay Area deep-tech entrepreneurial ecosystem, complemented by the firm's cooperation agreement with the University of Chicago through the Harper Court Ventures partnership, which commercializes the university's deep-tech research in quantum computing, AI, energy, and life sciences.
Since its founding in 2018, MFV Partners has built a portfolio of pioneering deep-tech companies including PsiQuantum (quantum computing, 2019 investment), Agility Robotics (humanoid AI robotics), Chef Robotics (autonomous food preparation), and OpenInfer (AI inference infrastructure). These investments reflect the firm's track record of early-stage conviction in hardware-enabled technology platforms that require patient, technically sophisticated capital to develop to commercial scale. MFV Partners Fund II continues this discipline with investments such as CavilinQ (quantum photonic interconnects, Seed 2026), targeting the emerging quantum networking infrastructure layer that will underpin scalable quantum computing architectures.
