SmartGateVC is a venture capital and private equity firm based in Glendale, California, with operations in Southern California and Armenia. Since 2018, it has built a portfolio of early-stage investments focused on Physical AI, brain–computer interfaces, and cybersecurity, including companies like SuperAnnotate and Deep Origin. The firm emphasizes connections with innovation centers at institutions such as Harvard, MIT, EPFL, and affiliations with organizations like NASA JPL and Bosch, and it engages follow-on and co-investors including various strategic and venture capital firms. Its investor network features notable names, and the firm currently manages a second fund, drawing support from high-profile limited partners.

A recent development is a collaboration announced in April 2026 with Merge Americas LLC to launch the Healthcare Innovation Venture Ecosystem, a syndicate linking healthcare systems, payers, and biotech stakeholders with early-stage healthcare startups. SmartGateVC maintains a regional focus on early-stage opportunities at the intersection of technology and health, aiming to connect entrepreneurial ventures with established ecosystems and strategic partners.
