Raisewell Ventures Closes $50M Fund I to Back Deep Tech, Health Systems, and Infrastructure Startups
Raisewell Ventures didn’t tap the mic. They walked in, set the level, and let the signal carry. Fund I is officially closed at $50M, and if you’ve been paying attention, this wasn’t luck catching a tailwind. This was timing meeting intent, with Jeep Kline calling the tempo from day one.
Jeep Kline, Founder and Managing Partner, didn’t build another Sand Hill echo chamber. She built a corridor. Silicon Valley on one end, Southeast Asia on the other, and in between, a flow of capital, policy influence, and deep tech that actually has somewhere to go. That nuance matters. Because software might talk a big game, but Raisewell is betting on the layers underneath it. Infrastructure, manufacturing, health systems. The stuff that doesn’t trend on social but quietly runs the world.
Seventeen portfolio companies in under eighteen months. Ten of the first twelve already pulled in follow-on rounds. Three hit unicorn status. One is pacing toward a Nasdaq IPO. That’s not spray and pray. That’s pattern recognition with teeth. The kind of mix that comes from seeing cycles up close, not reading about them after the fact.
And then there’s the table Jeep Kline built. Nick Jivasantikarn, Mohammed Shomrat, Prim Jitcharoongphorn, Anton Vaisberg-Targulian, Sumana Rajarethnam, Jessica Wan, Christy Martell, Andrew Stadlen, Chris Tobias, Mike Walker. Different backgrounds, same frequency. Operators, thinkers, policy minds. The kind of mix that doesn’t just fund companies, it changes the conditions those companies operate in.
Raisewell isn’t chasing geography for the headline. Southeast Asia isn’t a side quest here. It’s a strategic pressure point. When capital gets tighter globally and only a handful of funds close, showing up with conviction in undercapitalized markets isn’t charity. It’s positioning. It’s understanding where the next wave of infrastructure and scale actually gets built.
The quiet flex is the model. Solo GP, global reach, deep tech focus, and a network that stretches from Nobel-level science to government corridors. Not for optics, but for execution. Because if you’re going to move hardware, policy, and capital across borders, you need more than a deck and a demo day.
