In 2022, we closed our third fund with more than $200M in committed capital.

Our portfolio includes companies that have achieved breakthroughs in the physical sciences, engineering the world's first high performance rare-earth free permanent magnets for sustainable electrification, and the life sciences, such as developing the highest resolution single-cell gene sequencing solution for understanding diseases and discovering treatments.
Our companies deliver strong returns for our investors, whether through public listing via IPO or acquisition by larger industrial players such as Siemens, and drive discoveries that improve our world.
