Singular is a Paris and London based venture firm backing some of Europe's most exciting early stage companies, from Basecamp Research to Aikido.
Raffi Kamber is General Partner and Co-Founder at Singular. Europe is especially strong at combining AI and science, and a new generation of researchers is now starting companies of their own. Singular has made this one of its biggest bets and helps turn the research into businesses, and it's now growing its team in London to find more of them.
