We invest in innovation

To de-risk and build capacity and competence within our portfolio companies, we leverage our deep experience in design, engineering, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and commercialization strategy.

Overview

The Foundry

We operate under our exclusive venture studio model with designers, engineers, founders, entrepreneurs, strategists, and investors all under one roof. We proactively engage with founders on their terms to provide the support they need. Our primary focus is to ensure that the companies we invest in construct robust foundations for exponential growth.

Our venture studio integrates all the expertise that founders need to successfully navigate the development and commercialization journey. We offer hands-on support to enhance professional capacity and competence within start-ups. Our entire process and framework is designed to facilitate a smooth transition to self-sufficiency.
