Fund Profile

Kompas

Industrial competitiveness is being rebuilt. Physical industries are under pressure to do more with less - increase productivity, withstand growing operational and geopolitical risks, and decarbonise at speed. Yet the gap between what technology can enable and what industry can deploy remains wide. That gap is where we invest. We are an early-stage venture capital firm with a specialised focus on physical industries. We back founders building enabling technologies that operate in real-world industrial environments across sectors such as manufacturing, energy, logistics, infrastructure, and the built environment.
