This second fund aims to support early-stage founders building ambitious solutions in critical sectors of the economy. 1. Investment focus: Deep tech and American Dynamism companies 2.

Target sectors: Transportation, energy, heavy industry, healthcare, and national security 5. Strategic approach: Embracing technical risk over market risk Humba Ventures, led by General Partner Leo Polovets and new addition Anna-Sofia Lesiv, is part of the broader Susa fund family. This connection allows Humba to offer more platform services and support per dollar invested compared to larger funds. The fund's strategy reflects a belief that real growth is driven by innovators building at the fundamental level of the economy. Humba II aims to support founders reimagining critical systems in society, from organoid-based drug testing platforms to next-generation sawmills and nuclear power for defense. This launch comes at a time when defense tech investments are reaching record highs, with startups in the sector raising nearly $3 billion in 2024. Humba's focus on deep tech and hardware investments marks a shift from its sister firm Susa Ventures' traditional focus on fintech and software companies. Humba Ventures' approach to evaluating companies differs from traditional software investments, focusing more on the potential of the technology and the team's capability to build it rather than distribution and go-to-market strategies. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/humba-ventures-raises-40m-fund-160000084.html
