About LiquidMetal
WHAT
WE
DO
LiquidMetal Ventures is a newly established venture capital fund based in Boston, aiming at investing in early-stage (Seed, Angel, and pre-A round) in a minority group, particularly deep-tech startups.
LiquidMetal Ventures is based on deep-tech start-up communities and has a unique advantage in reaching out to ‘off-the-market’ early-stage deals and cooperating with peer VC funds tightly to reduce the risk, overall a high return could be expected.
LiquidMetal Ventures focuses on biotech and healthcare, carbon neutrality, AI and data, infrastructure, and consumer tech. There is a huge tide of startups among Boston entrepreneurs in the US on the way. We would like to be the first to check VC with the founders.

Join InnoHub
InnoHub aims to deliver deals with high potential to investors interested in early-stage projects. The monthly online pitch event introduces 3-4 well-qualified firms in deeptech-oriented fields and provides investors a means to exchange thoughts with the entrepreneur teams through Q&A.
The ultimate goal of InnoHub is to build a sustainable and value-generating loop that provides both entrepreneurs a platform on which start-ups with high momentum have the opportunity to convey their ideas to a larger audience and investors a medium to source the future unicorn.
VeraMorph is a specialty pharmaceutical company with a universal oral dosage technology for poorly soluble small molecule drugs that constitute 9 in 10 pre-clinical compounds and 4 in 10 marketed products. The company’s mission is to improve patients' lives across all disease areas by expanding opportunities to commercialize novel therapies and improving existing products, which VeraMorph is uniquely able to achieve by preventing formulation limitations that cause 3 in 10 projects to be terminated and hinder clinical outcomes.
Resolute Bio is an emerging company devoted to improving the performance of protein/peptide medicines. The Company’s RBC Elevate™ platform is designed to enable proteins or peptides to “hitchhike” on red blood cells in vivo, to extend therapeutic half-life and de-immunizing patients, allow longer, more effective treatments (for existing drugs and autoimmune disorders).
Cellinfinity Bio is pioneering full-scale, directed evolution at a cellular level to unlock the unexplored potential of cell therapy to develop efficacious treatments for solid cancers. To date, we have secured seed funding of $13.2 million to deploy this technology, and we have recruited an outstanding team of executives and research leaders to generate our initial pipeline. We are seeking Series A partners who will collaborate to bring these novel CARTs and CAR-NKs into the clinic. Over time, we hope to expand our platform and discover genetic modifications that improve other immune cell functions, including monocytes, gamma-delta T cells, and regulatory T cells.
