Lux Capital

First checks into science-fiction-grade deep tech — defense, AI, robotics, biotech and space.

Founded in 2000 by Peter Hébert, Josh Wolfe and Robert Paull, Lux backs founders turning frontier science into companies, often pre-product and sometimes pre-deck — it wrote one of the first checks into Anduril while the pitch was still being drafted. The firm manages roughly $7 billion from New York and Menlo Park and closed its largest fund, the $1.5 billion Lux Ventures IX, in January 2026.
