Changing how we make, move, and (re)use everything.
We invest in early-stage startups accelerating the change of how we make, move, and (re)use everything.
Make
Move
(Re)use
Founders in these sectors need customers more than they need capital.
So we built the firm around that. Helping isn’t always helpful. We lean in with support when it helps, back off when it doesn’t, and defend our founders to the very end. That’s why founders across nine countries and three continents have trusted our team as early investors and partners.
Our criteria
We back real technology with a real buyer. Diligence focused on unit economics, offtake, and buyer intent, not science risk we can’t price.
Value add
Our corporate partners become your pilot sites and first buyers. For companies selling into the physical economy, that access is worth more than the check.
Committed support
Hands-on support with non-dilutive capital, project and equipment finance structuring, and commercial introductions that shorten the path to revenue.
