Harpoon Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2018 by Larsen Jensen, a two-time Olympic medalist and former Navy SEAL. The firm manages approximately $300M AUM and focuses on backing founders building mission-critical technologies across AI, deep tech, software infrastructure, and cybersecurity. Harpoon's initial backers included Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed, and the firm is now anchored by leading pensions and endowments, including a prominent first responder pension fund. Harpoon positions itself as more than a capital provider, emphasizing tactical support for portfolio companies navigating government contracts and defense sector opportunities. The firm has helped its founders secure over $1B in U.S. government contracts, ranging from non-dilutive grants to programs exceeding $100M. Portfolio companies include Solugen, n8n, Astranis, MatX, Genesis Molecular AI, Starcloud, and Northwood, among others. The firm announced Fund IV in recent news and is recognized for its deep connectivity across the defense ecosystem and hands-on approach to supporting founders in sectors critical to American technological leadership and strategic advantage.
