Josh Wolfe is the co-founder and Managing Partner of Lux Capital, a New York-based venture firm with $7 billion under management that he bootstrapped in 2000 by selling deep-tech research reports before securing institutional capital. He invests as a generalist across frontier sectors including AI, biotech, defense, robotics, energy, and automation, targeting category-defining companies from early stages through growth. His typical investment range spans $1 million to $50 million, with a sweet spot around $10 million, and he frequently leads deals while co-founding over 20 companies from scratch. Notable portfolio companies include Anduril, Hugging Face, Planet, and Applied Intuition, which exemplify his focus on hard science and emerging technology. Wolfe is known for a contrarian, science-driven philosophy that employs scenario-based “Riskgaming” exercises to navigate uncertainty in technology and policy. As a published scientist and Cornell alum, he writes extensively on markets and technology’s societal impact, often challenging conventional venture narratives.
