    Description:

    Fifty Years is an entrepreneur-run early stage venture fund that invests in companies that inspire. The firm funds companies that, if successful, will be both massively profitable and make a serious dent in achieving one of the Sustainable Development Goals. Fifty Years is interested in synthetic biology and food tech, but does not limit their investments to any specific verticals. Strong preference is given to companies with an initial go-to-market strategy starting in North America or Europe. The firm is backed by 44 founders of tech companies valued between $1B and $100B.
