[Official Fund V announcement](https://www.amplifypartners.com/blog-posts/amplify-partners-fund-v). | The 2025 sum is US$900M across **three** funds, not a single US$900M fund, check size or firm AUM. The firm's announcement presents launched funds and new capital rather than target amounts; it does not explicitly identify a legal final-close date. Bio capital raised is corroborated by reporting. Label the others “announced fund size” unless a later reviewer obtains closing documentation. Targeted searches for newer 2026 funds and the official site did not establish a later fund set; this is latest-known, not a guarantee of completeness. Current AUM and available dry powder were not established. Additional verified fund-history sources checked in this review: - Amplify Partners Fund I: USD 49100000. Founder interview describes first fund at USD 49.1 million, commonly rounded to USD 50 million.

Match research 2026-10-06 / AmplifyPartners / sha256:330d84c7e981f3cb9db7d180effb674bf260c883d80b525f04e6a2684fd61f18 / part 2 of 2 Imported completed research. Baseline Adex/Signal statements describe prior state, not independent verification. Retain cited attribution, date, currency and classification caveats. The [official Amplify Bio portfolio page](https://www.amplifypartners.com/amplify-bio) (undated, accessed 2026-10-06) also names **Boltz** (biomolecular models), **Chai Discovery** (biochemical interaction prediction), **Achira** (atomistic simulation) and **Axiom** (AI drug-toxicity models). These are firm-level portfolio associations and credible additional deep-tech leads; financing amounts, round dates and investing vehicle were not independently established here. Ordinary workflow SaaS entries are not classified as deep tech simply because their investor emphasizes technical founders. ## Previous neurotech investments and boundaries **Sonera is a verified direct neurotechnology investment.** The company announced its US$11M seed round led by Amplify on 2023-09-12. Its sensor measures magnetic fields produced by neural electrical activity without requiring direct skin contact. Named planned uses include prosthetic control and neuromuscular monitoring. This is evidence of neural sensing and interfaces; it does not establish clinical efficacy, regulatory approval or a deployed brain implant. The same announcement reports US$20M total financing, which must not replace the US$11M round figure. Source: [Sonera announcement](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230912431509/en/Sonera-Introduces-Breakthrough-Sensing-Technology-to-Make-Neural-Data-More-Accessible), 2023-09-12. **Bexorg is neuroscience research / CNS drug discovery, recorded separately from neural interfaces.** Its official release verifies Amplify participation in the US$23M Series A on 2025-10-15. The platform restores selected molecular activities in donated brains to generate drug-development data; the release says higher-level brain functions are not restored. This supports neuroscience platform exposure, not a therapeutic neural device, BCI or restored consciousness. Source: [Bexorg financing release](https://bexorg.com/news/bexorg-raises-42-5m-to-transform-cns-drug-development), 2025-10-15. The [C&EN report](https://cen.acs.org/business/start-ups/Neuroscience-startBexorg-nets-425-million/103/web/2025/10), also 2025-10-15, describes US$42.5M as a Series A; the official release instead distinguishes US$23M Series A from US$42.5M total, so primary evidence controls. No additional direct neurotechnology investment was verified in this focused review. Names such as “Engram” and neural-network software do not alone imply biological neurotechnology. Mental-health therapy and general healthcare data companies should not be folded into direct neurotech; some baseline entries also require investor-identity correction. ## Conflicts, attribution caveats and later Adex review 1. **Separate Amplify Partners from Amplify Capital.** The snapshot assigns ThinkLabs AI and Planetary Technologies to this firm. ThinkLabs' [2024-05-23 company financing announcement](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/05/23/2887092/0/en/thinklabs-ai-inc-launches-and-secures-5m-seed-investment-to-develop-technology-to-transform-critical-grid-operations.html) explicitly names **Amplify Capital**, corroborated by [Amplify Capital's own investment article](https://www.amplifycapital.ca/news/thinklabs-ai-why-we-invested) (undated year in rendered heading; accessed 2026-10-06). Planetary's [official Series A announcement](https://www.planetarytech.com/for-immediate-release-planetary-technologies-secures-11-35-million-in-series-a-funding-to-accelerate-carbon-removal-initiatives/) also names **Amplify Capital**, not Partners; it was posted 2024-10-25 with a 2024-09-30 dateline and corrected an unrelated ICONIQ attribution. Do not retain these as verified Amplify Partners deep-tech investments. Audit other climate and Canadian health entries for the same conflation. 2. **Deduplicate companies and rounds carefully.** The snapshot has both Sonera and Sonera Magnetics entries using the same US$11M seed evidence. Treat these as an apparent name/alias duplication pending entity review, not two independent investments. Tahoe and Tahoe Therapeutics similarly share financing evidence. Other duplicates include SiMa/AI and alternate company spellings. 3. **Fix round versus investor amount semantics.** Snapshot Sonera participation entries put US$11M under `amount` while `roundAmount` is null. The announcement verifies the overall round, not Amplify's check. Do not transfer round totals into investor contributions. 4. **Replace stale strategy and capacity carefully.** Preserve the 2014 fund and check range only as dated historical claims. Use separate Fund VI, Select VI and Bio I entries with June 2025 announcement dates. Avoid Signal's US$700M as a current individual fund or AUM. Official offices are in California; Signal's multi-city associations are not verified headquarters. 5. **Separate partner histories from firm investments.** Beyer's personal Signal “Investor” experience list does not establish firm participation in every listed company. The 2025 firm announcement describes incoming partner Elliot Hershberg's prior deals; those are not automatically Amplify investments. The verified company funding releases above attribute the firm explicitly. 6. **Do not overstate coverage or milestones.** This is a substantive targeted assessment, not a full audit of every baseline participation or the entire portfolio. Current ownership, exits, investment vehicle, exact checks, newer fund closes and clinical validation remain unverified. Portfolio membership alone establishes association but not a round date or lead role. All linked sources were checked on 2026-10-06. Official releases describe company and investor claims; technology classifications and data-quality recommendations are researcher assessments. This dossier supplies reviewable evidence only and does not authorize Adex/database modification.

Baseline Adex/Signal statements describe prior state, not independent verification. Retain cited attribution, date, currency and classification caveats. # Amplify Partners - **Exact Adex ID:** `AmplifyPartners` - **Adex webpage:** https://adex.page/firms/AmplifyPartners - **Official website:** https://www.amplifypartners.com/ - **Research date / source access date:** 2026-10-06 - **Status:** complete research dossier; findings require later Adex review, with no database changes made. Amplify Partners is a venture investor in technical founders, with verified exposure to AI robotics, semiconductor hardware, computational biology and direct neural sensing. The latest-known fund announcement found is the June 2025 set of three funds totaling US$900M. Sonera is a verified direct neurotechnology investment; Bexorg is separately classified as neuroscience research and CNS drug-discovery infrastructure. The existing record contains material attribution problems involving the separate investor Amplify Capital. ## Starting evidence: Adex and NFX Signal The saved exact-ID snapshot, `data/research/_sources/AmplifyPartners.adex.json`, was retrieved through read-only MCP Search on 2026-10-06 at 19:29:35 UTC. It identifies Amplify Partners, founded 2012, and describes an early-stage infrastructure investor. Its description quotes a March 2014 US$49.1M first fund and initial checks of US$50k–US$1.5M. Those are historical baseline claims, not current fund size or verified current check policy. The structured investor profile has null check minimum, maximum and sweet spot. The record includes many investment participations, sometimes without announcement dates or round amounts; source URLs include official announcements, reporting and Goldi co-investor listings. These entries were used as leads, not independent confirmation. [NFX Signal firm page](https://signal.nfx.com/firms/amplify-partners), undated, directly read on 2026-10-06, repeats the historical description, first fund and check range. It gives a Massachusetts heading and locations spanning multiple US cities and Dubai. Those broad location associations should not override the firm's own Menlo Park and San Francisco office addresses on its [official homepage](https://www.amplifypartners.com/) (undated, accessed 2026-10-06). The rendered firm team section provided little usable team detail. [David Beyer's Signal profile](https://signal.nfx.com/investors/david-beyer), undated, directly read on 2026-10-06, identifies him as an Amplify partner, shows US$500k–US$5M range, US$2.8M sweet spot and US$700M “current fund size,” and includes pre-seed, seed and Series A sector rankings. Investment lists and introduction features require login. These are individual-profile fields without a fund vintage or methodology; the US$700M may reflect a combined fund set and cannot be treated as the firm's current individual fund. Search-index versions of Signal can expose transactions absent from the current rendered view; the official announcements below control attribution. ## Fund sizes and capital status | Fund / vintage | Amount | Announcement date | Interpretation and source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Amplify Partners Fund 6 / VI | US$400M | 2025-06-05 | Core first-check fund for technical founders; announced new capital, not a stated fundraising target. [Official announcement](https://www.amplifypartners.com/blog-posts/fund-6-announcement). | | Fund 6 Select / VI Select | US$300M | 2025-06-05 | Follow-on capital for existing Amplify portfolio companies; distinct from the core fund. [Official announcement](https://www.amplifypartners.com/blog-posts/fund-6-announcement). | | Amplify Bio I | US$200M | 2025-06-05 | First dedicated digital biology fund. [Official announcement](https://www.amplifypartners.com/blog-posts/fund-6-announcement); [Axios fundraising report](https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-pro-rata-73e8a68a-5cbe-4a50-b60d-3788c5a72893), June 2025, also describes US$200M raised. | | Amplify Partners V | US$400M | 2022-06-13 | Historical flagship early-stage fund. [Official Fund V announcement](https://www.amplifypartners.com/blog-posts/amplify-partners-fund-v). | | Amplify Select V | US$300M | 2022-06-13 | Historical follow-on fund for existing companies. [Official Fund V announcement](https://www.amplifypartners.com/blog-posts/amplify-partners-fund-v). | The 2025 sum is US$900M across **three** funds, not a single US$900M fund, check size or firm AUM. The firm's announcement presents launched funds and new capital rather than target amounts; it does not explicitly identify a legal final-close date. Bio capital raised is corroborated by reporting. Label the others “announced fund size” unless a later reviewer obtains closing documentation. Targeted searches for newer 2026 funds and the official site did not establish a later fund set; this is latest-known, not a guarantee of completeness. Current AUM and available dry powder were not established. ## Investment stages and strategy The [2025 fund announcement](https://www.amplifypartners.com/blog-posts/fund-6-announcement) explicitly emphasizes first-check and earliest-stage technical founders, with Select funds supporting existing companies as they scale. The [Amplify Bio page](https://www.amplifypartners.com/amplify-bio) (undated, accessed 2026-10-06) likewise describes earliest-stage life-science founders building digital platforms and infrastructure. The verified historical transactions below span seed, Series A and Series B; those examples demonstrate participation, not an unrestricted current later-stage sourcing mandate. Signal's stage rankings and individual check estimates are supplementary, not official underwriting terms. No verified firm-wide current check range was found. ## Named previous deep-tech investments Amounts below are entire company financing rounds unless stated otherwise; Amplify's individual investment amounts and the specific investing fund are undisclosed in the checked announcements. Classification is an analytical assessment of technology, not a claimed company label. | Company | Deep-tech rationale | Verified Amplify attribution / transaction | Evidence and date | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Sonera / Sonera Magnetics** | Miniaturized magnetic sensing hardware for neural signals; semiconductor and sensor engineering. Also direct neurotechnology, detailed below. | Led US$11M seed financing; company total raised reached US$20M. | [Company-issued Business Wire announcement](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230912431509/en/Sonera-Introduces-Breakthrough-Sensing-Technology-to-Make-Neural-Data-More-Accessible), 2023-09-12. | | **SiMa.ai** | Purpose-built embedded machine-learning system-on-chip, requiring silicon and edge-computing engineering. | Existing investor participating in US$70M financing led by Maverick Capital.

Secondary listings call it Series A, but primary-stage wording is retained. | | **Bexorg** | Whole-human-brain experimental platform combined with AI for CNS target and biomarker discovery. | Existing investor participating in US$23M Series A led by Engine Ventures; David Beyer joined the board. Total company funding was US$42.5M. | [Official financing release](https://bexorg.com/news/bexorg-raises-42-5m-to-transform-cns-drug-development), 2025-10-15. |
