We fuel growth by combining leadership recruiting and the capital companies need to scale.
Most firms back companies with money. Others help them find leaders. We do both - because the right team is the real growth engine. By combining executive recruiting with venture capital, we help companies scale gaster, stronger, and smarter. Below, find a list of

Occam Global invests at the intersection of AI and deep technology, areas where leadership quality can accelerate discovery and commercial success. We back companies solving meaningful problems in life sciences, biotechnology, precision medicine, advanced analytics, robotics, manufacturing and defense innovation.
Most investors provide capital. We provide capital and leadership to drive innovation forward. Our dual capability — venture investing and executive recruiting — enables portfolio companies to scale with both funding and the right executive talent. We help founders build boards, strengthen leadership teams, and scale operations intelligently.
We primarily invest in early to growth-stage companies (Seed through Series B). However, we occasionally participate in later rounds when strategic leadership placement or operational guidance can create disproportionate value.
Investment size varies depending on stage and strategic alignment, but typically ranges from $5M-$20M. More importantly, our engagement doesn’t end with capital — we stay deeply involved in leadership and growth execution.
Occam does both. We frequently co-invest alongside institutional and strategic investors who share our conviction in building durable, high-performance companies. When we lead, we often complement our investment with executive search support to strengthen leadership readiness post-funding.
In addition to traditional investor support, we provide: Executive search and leadership advisory Organizational design and team scaling guidance Access to our global network of operators, scientists, and investors Strategic storytelling and positioning expertise for next-round readiness
We back founders who pair scientific depth with strategic clarity and are willing to operate in complex, regulated, or frontier markets. We’re especially drawn to those with unconventional paths to entrepreneurship and original, creative approaches to solving persistent problems.
Not exactly. Occam Global operates as a strategic venture platform combining elements of venture capital, executive search, and leadership advisory. Our capital goes further because it’s matched with talent and operational guidance and mentorship.
