Helium-3 Ventures lists 29 checked portfolio companies on its own site and is named in 1 funding round. Its most frequent entry is Series A, 100% of the companies with a known first round. Its largest themes are AI & Machine Learning (24%), Industrial & Manufacturing (18%) and Education (12%). 86% of its companies are based in United States. It invests most often alongside Y Combinator, Evolution VC Partners and ARK Venture Fund.

Counts come from funding rounds that name Helium-3 Ventures, complete from mid-2025: earlier rounds appear only when they were reported later. Round amounts and full round histories are on Fundup AI.

Round figures show recent activity, not Helium-3 Ventures' whole history. Rounds on record name 1 company; its own site lists 29. Funding rounds are complete from mid-2025, so counts and the yearly trend undercount a firm that invested before then. The portfolio, themes and places come from its own site and are not affected.

Rates come from what VCinfo has observed since observation_start. Firms tend to remove companies that closed, so early rates understate reality. A company leaving a portfolio page does not mean it closed or exited. An unreachable site means our checks failed, nothing more.
