SemperVirens is a San Francisco based venture capital firm investing in AI-native companies transforming the largest and most complex service markets in the economy: healthcare, financial services, and the workforce. These markets represent over 75% of US GDP, yet remain defined by manual work, regulatory complexity, and systems that too often fail. We back companies that dont just improve workflows, but take responsibility for the outcome.  Since 2018, weve backed over 85 category-defining companies, including unicorns like Spring Health, Human Interest, Midi Health, Remote, and Multiverse. We put thousands of senior operators, advisors, and channel partners to work for our founders, accelerating customer access, distribution, and scale across markets we know from the inside.

At Turpentine, we believe that the world’s most interesting, important, and useful ideas and experiences come from those with skin in the game, sharing their expertise – no matter how niche the topic. Over the last decade of the internet, the “nicheification” of media has exploded across the entire surface area of culture, before finally coming to business and tech. We’re here to accelerate that trend, and our mission is to be the best place for experts to talk shop and to help our audience acquire the edge they need to excel in their industry and craft. ‍We exist to provide our audience with conversations that they wouldn’t hear anywhere else: candid discussions with thinkers and builders, evergreen education, and powerful frameworks for understanding the frontier of every field.
