Solari Capital, a venture firm that builds and invests in pioneering companies, is emerging from stealth after Managing Partner AJ Scaramucci has quietly deployed $350 million across early-stage venture, late-stage venture, and incubations.
Solari believes that the exponential growth of computational power is ushering in a new technological renaissance that could unlock trillions of dollars in economic value. Intelligence becomes omnipresent, biology becomes writable, and the physical world moves from chaos to order.
Solari calls this thesis Programmable Reality™.
“What’s arriving now is bigger than any technology cycle: for the first time, we’re moving from evolution by natural selection to evolution by intelligent direction,” says AJ Scaramucci, Founder & Managing Partner of Solari Capital. “Solari Capital exists to be a conductor of capital and creator of companies to realize a future of radical abundance and human self-actualization.”
The shift is easy to underestimate, Scaramucci argues, because exponential change is deceptive, compounding invisibly for years, then arriving all at once. Autonomous driving incubated for a decade before Waymo appeared on every other San Francisco block; LLMs were a research curiosity until, overnight, they weren’t. He believes this technological renaissance will be no different. That grand vision has drawn some of technology’s most seasoned builders to back Scaramucci and team. “In all my 35 years of entrepreneurship, mentoring, and teaching, I have not found an individual more driven and passionate than AJ,” said Peter Diamandis, Founder & Chairman of XPRIZE. “He is positioned to play a pivotal role in the transformation of humanity this century.”
Solari believes reality is increasingly becoming programmable across four dimensions, which guide the firm’s investment verticals: Programmable Intelligence (foundation models, compute, AI-native services, consumer AI, smart enterprise, developer tooling); Programmable Biology (computational drug discovery, gene therapy, immunotherapy, mental health, health-IT, longevity, bio-manufacturing); Programmable Matter (aerospace & space, national security & defense, energy, hardware, materials science, semiconductors, robotics, supply chain); and Programmable Finance (fintech, blockchain infrastructure, and businesses that serve as hedges to monetary debasement).
A differentiated approach
Solari Capital is a multi-strategy venture firm, building companies, investing in founders, and convening the leaders that help them to scale.
Build. Solari builds companies from scratch and operates them at their inception, such as with Treasure Trove, a holding company built to own and compound iconic scarce cultural assets, and Radial Health, an interventional psychiatry business now backed by investors such as General Catalyst, Emerson Collective, and BoxGroup. “AJ is truly unique in that he is an investor as well as a builder,” says Elliot Cohen, co-founder of PillPack (sold to Amazon), Radial Health, and General Medicine. “He’s fun to work with because his ideas somehow strike a balance between being anchored in reality and simultaneously just crazy enough to change how all of us interact with the world.”
Invest. Solari invests at the earliest rounds in founders and companies such as Northwood Space and General Medicine, and supports them as they scale from Pre-Seed to Pre IPO. “He has the instincts to identify great founders early, the tenacity to win contested deals, and the ability to recruit world-class teams,” says Ron Conway, Founder & Managing Partner of SV Angel.
Convene. Solari co-hosts SALT, an investment forum that holds events worldwide, including in New York, London, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, and more, gathering leaders across technology, capital markets, and global affairs. SALT serves Solari’s portfolio as an engine for business development, recruiting, and capital raising. Jim Breyer, Founder & Managing Partner at Breyer Capital says, “I have been a long-time attendee of SALT. The network he has cultivated through these events is extraordinary and generates terrific deal flow.”
