civilizational
PILLARS.
Backing visionary founders who are consciously and deliberately shaping a resilient and thriving future for our species.
LIFE
Extending and enriching life through biotech, medicine, food, and biodiversity. From curing disease to feeding the planet, this pillar preserves and advances human flourishing.
MATTER
Mastery of materials and manufacturing. From quantum chips to nanomaterials, this pillar reshapes what we can build, laying the backbone of tomorrow’s industries and tools.
MOTION
The ability to move, explore, and connect. Aerospace, rockets, satellites, next-gen transport, and robotics. Motion transcends distance; from hyperloops on Earth to colonies beyond it.
INTELLIGENCE
Amplifying the mind’s reach. AI, computing, data, and human-machine interfaces. Intelligence enables smarter decisions, creativity, and connectedness across civilization.
ENERGY
Clean, abundant, and reliable energy. Fusion, advanced nuclear, batteries, and grids to power civilization’s growth without harming the planet. The engine of sustainable progress.
ABOUT ME
I am Akhilesh Agarwal, an early-stage DeepTech investor, focused on investing in civilizational pillars of Life, Matter, Motion, Intelligence, and Energy. I partner with ambitious founders building at the frontiers of science & engineering - from Space and BioTech to Advanced Materials, Robotics, and beyond.
My approach is founder first and long term, often investing when ideas are still fragile. For me, supporting startups goes far beyond capital. I believe in deploying my capital and time towards shaping deliberate futures for our species and strengthening the foundations of civilization.

“Investing is not about CHASING moonshots; it is about BUILDING deliberate futures.”
WHY?
I invest in companies that build the civilizational pillars of life, matter, motion, intelligence, and energy that are the core foundations for humanity's advancements.
WHEN?
I like to get involved early, often as one of the first believers, when an idea still feels fragile and the data is scarce, but my conviction in the vision is always strong.
HOW?
I work founder-first and long-term, supporting startups far beyond capital by committing time, networks and strategic clarity to help turn bold visions into enduring outcomes.
my Approach
My approach to DeepTech is simple: understand why it matters, decide when to back it, and commit to how it will be built.
MY INVESTMENTS
I'd love to talk if you're building something in early stage DeepTech – at the intersection of core science and engineering.
I believe in deploying my capital towards helping shape deliberate futures for our species.
