About
Andrew Scott co-founded 7percent Ventures to back the kind of frontier ideas he struggled to raise funding for as a founder in Europe, importing West Coast-style risk appetite for ambitious visions after experiencing how European VCs passed on bold concepts that were quickly funded in the US. He advocates for unusually large employee equity pools of 10-20% for early teams and focuses on investing in deeply technical companies working on new computing paradigms like reversible computing chips, which he frames alongside transformative technologies like jet engines and transistors.
