SV Pacific Ventures backs visionary founders building the defining companies in AI, Fintech, Defense, Space, and Clean Energy — from Silicon Valley to the world.
The principal investment vehicle of A.K. Mavani — engineer, operator, and deep tech investor at the frontier of defense and emerging technology.
SV Pacific Ventures is the principal investment vehicle of A.K. Mavani, engineer, operator, and deep tech investor with a track record spanning Silicon Valley, Asia, and the global frontier of defense and emerging technology.
We invest at the intersection of hard science and strategic consequence: Defense & Autonomous Systems, AI & Deep Tech, Space & Aerospace, Fintech, Biotech, and Robotics. These are the sectors we believe will define the next era of economic and geopolitical power.
A.K. brings an uncommon combination of technical depth and investment instinct. Educated at Cambridge and Stanford GSB, with a background in engineering and an MBA, he has built and commercialized technology from first principles, founding three Silicon Valley companies that were acquired, holding 20+ issued and pending patents, and operating across the US, China, and Southeast Asia. He is not a generalist writing checks. He is a builder who has been in the room where products are made, teams are scaled, and exits are negotiated.
SV Pacific Ventures takes concentrated positions in early-to-growth stage companies where technical moats and market timing converge. Beyond capital, we are an active partner: we have brought institutional investors to the cap table, opened doors to the Japanese market for portfolio companies, and work hands-on across business development, strategic introductions, and follow-on financing. Our network spans Silicon Valley, China, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia.
We back founders who are building things that matter. If that’s you, let’s talk.
We concentrate capital in frontier sectors where technology convergence creates generational investment opportunities.
