Pitch us

Own a constraint Physical AI can't scale without?

We lead and co-lead the first institutional check for founders removing the technical bottlenecks intelligent machines depend on — data, simulation, evaluation, edge, and manipulation. Tell us the constraint you own; we read every pitch.

Stage

Pre-seed and seed. We're comfortable being your first institutional check and moving before the round is crowded.

Check size

Initial checks from $250K to $1.5M, leading or co-leading rounds of roughly $1M–$4M, with reserves for follow-on.

Focus

Physical AI constraints — robot data, simulation and sim-to-real, evaluation and safety, edge inference, and manipulation.

Geography

Global. We back teams wherever they are and are set up to invest across the US, Europe, and beyond.

What we look for

A defensible layer others depend on, deep technical insight, and evidence the constraint is real and yours to remove.

How fast

A reply within five business days. If it's a fit, a first call that week — no warm intro required.

Send your pitch

Tell us your constraint.

A few lines and a deck are enough to start. The clearer the constraint and why you're the team to remove it, the faster we can respond.

We reply to every pitch within five business days.

Prefer email? Send your deck straight to founders@awsm.vc. This form is illustrative and not yet wired to a backend, so email is the reliable route today.

What happens next

A fast, founder-first process.

Step 1

We read it

Every pitch is reviewed by a partner. You'll hear back within five business days — yes, no, or not yet.

Step 2

First call

If it's a fit, we dig into the constraint, the wedge, and the team on a 45-minute call that week.

Step 3

Decision

We move quickly to a clear decision and terms — and open the Frontier Stack the day you close.
