We partner with visionary founders building technologies critical to the national interest.
The Overture Edge
Overture is an early-stage venture fund with a hyper-differentiated edge. We invest in energy, artificial intelligence, resilience, and industrial transformation startups and focus on helping those founders win government support and navigate regulatory complexity.
Industrial policies are here to stay. Government and geopolitics is today as important as economics. Accordingly, each Overture portfolio company receives in-kind support from the country’s leading climate government affairs firm, Boundary Stone Partners, to unlock the full potential of federal, state, and municipal governments.
Overture is an investment bridge between the world of startups and governments.
In government, we have worked as senior political appointees in the U.S. Department of Energy and in the White House. We have since founded a top tier government affairs firm, Boundary Stone Partners, and have helped build government affairs practices at companies like Airbnb.
As professional investors, we have previously deployed over $670M and have invested in some of the fastest growing startups in venture.
As entrepreneurs, we have personally founded technology startups with over $1.5 billion in cumulative exits.

Krish Mehta
CO-FOUNDER AND CEO, PHNX MATERIALS
Overture is the highest value investor we've ever worked with. They have jumped in, accelerated, and supercharged the technical side of our hardware, they provide unparalleled deep government and regulatory expertise, and pushed and enabled our marketing and press strategy. Every other investor we've spoken with recognizes Overture as a true Tier 1 VC—and it's been obvious to us why. Deciding to bring Overture into a round is the easiest decision for any founder. We expanded our round just so they could participate - best decision we've made.
