Founder and Managing Partner, Bee Partners

About

Michael Berolzheimer has built his career around inception-stage investing for 15+ years, finding founders before they know they're founders yet and staying with them from entry to exit, using his proprietary Frontier Curve of Innovation framework to anticipate deep-tech inflection points in areas like AI/ML, robotics, and synthetic biology. He operates a dedicated seed model with concentrated portfolios and leading rounds, explicitly embracing binary deep-tech bets with longer timelines and technical risk that many traditional seed investors avoid, while encouraging founders to use data rooms as narrative tools to attract the right long-term partners rather than volunteering them upfront.
