Enabling meaningful disruption by investing in robotics and AI
Together with our partners, we are striving to build a better, brighter future across the growing landscape of technologies that are changing the world.
Interwoven Ventures seeks to invest in early-stage and high-growth leaders on the cusp of reshaping the future.
Disrupting the way things have been done before is not an easy task. In today’s fast-changing environment, the keys to successful disruption include more than advanced technologies and innovative applications.
This is where Interwoven Ventures adds unique value. We support and empower founders to build long-lasting businesses and execute on their vision. As collaborative partners, we offer insights, provide access to technical experts and industry advisors, and open doors to global enterprises to break down barriers to success.
Decades of Experience
in Disruptive Technologies
Today’s founders need more than capital alone. Even the most brilliant tech founders benefit greatly from the strategic and operational guidance of a partner that understands the complex business challenges beyond their scope.
At Interwoven Ventures, we apply our industry expertise and decades of combined experience in disruptive technology investments. We provide early-stage and high growth founders with the guidance and financial backing needed to scale and deploy their innovative breakthrough solutions with world-class corporations.
We seek companies that use advanced technologies to deliver innovative solutions that transform traditional industries. Agriculture, healthcare, construction, transportation, logistics, and industrial manufacturing, and more are—at last—able to take advantage of the unique capabilities of AI and robotics to do what they do best.
