Venture capital firm investing in technology, health, and AI-enabled consumer businesses
Phira Ventures is a dual-office VC firm (Lisbon and New York) focused on founding and scaling ventures at the intersection of technology and human welfare—health, aging, AI safety, and content curation. The hiring mix skews heavily toward marketing and design roles rather than traditional venture operations, with active projects focused on social media management and paid acquisition testing across portfolio companies, suggesting Phira takes a hands-on, founder-like operational role post-investment rather than capital-only partnership.
