Celesta Capital is a global deep tech venture capital firm, investing in brilliance at the forefront of science and engineering.

Celesta primarily invests in early-stage infrastructure technologies throughout the stack. From semiconductors and systems to breakthrough biology, we seek out the physics‑defying, code‑rewriting breakthroughs that will power the next decade of technology advancement.

Celesta was founded and is led by Nicholas Brathwaite, Sriram Viswanathan, Michael Marks, and Lip-Bu Tan, technology industry veterans with decades of investment and operations experience as CEOs, senior management, and board directors at global organizations, including Flex, Intel, Cadence, and others.

Celesta prides ourselves on being operators in the ring alongside founders – not just on the cap table. With a team of seasoned company builders, we leverage our unique scaling experience, repeatable playbooks, and partner networks to help turn prototypes into powerhouses. 

Deep tech breakthroughs are borderless and Celesta works with entrepreneurs in emerging tech hubs across the globe. We are an active cross‑border investor, bridging Silicon Valley with India, Canada, Israel, and other markets to build generational global companies.
