Investors by roadmap areas
Roadmaps are ongoing deep dives on the technologies and companies that are shaping the future. While we invest across all industries and stages, we use roadmaps as a core mechanism for organizing our thoughts and ideas, building conviction, assembling our internal teams, and ultimately making investments based on our research. If you’re looking to partner on a deal, connect directly with the Partner in the related roadmap of a business.
