Outset Ventures

Outset Ventures is a New Zealand deep-tech venture firm and venture studio that combines specialist laboratory infrastructure, investment capital, and an entrepreneur community to help science and engineering startups scale. The organization is not itself a biotech or pharmaceutical developer; rather, it backs companies across multiple deep-tech sectors including biotech, medtech, materials, energy, robotics, and aerospace. Outset presents itself as Aotearoa New Zealand’s home of deep technology and highlights a model built around physical R&D facilities, venture funding, and founder support. Its portfolio includes healthcare-related and biotech-related companies, but the firm itself operates primarily as an investor and company-building platform rather than a therapeutic product company.
