Capital, competence and connections. From inside industry.
Early-stage industrial technology, backed by industry.
RunwayVC is an early-stage venture capital firm backing founders building the next generation of industry.
We invest from pre-seed to Series A across industrial AI and software, robotics, automation and autonomous systems.
Industrial access is built into how we invest. We work closely with operators, customers, technical experts and real industrial environments, from sourcing and validation to pilots, commercial opportunities and portfolio development.
That gives us a closer view of the problems industry needs solved, while bringing founders closer to the people and environments where new technology is tested, adopted and scaled.
We believe some of the next global technology leaders will be built in industrial technology. We back them early.

Where we invest
Critical industries need better tools, faster decision-making and more resilient infrastructure. RunwayVC backs founders building the technology stack behind that transformation: the sensors, networks and connected systems that make industrial data available; the AI and software that turn that data into intelligence and coordinated action; and the robotics and automation that bring those decisions into the physical world.
We invest where AI, software, robotics and autonomous systems are moving from pilots to real industrial deployment, across Connectivity and IoT, Industrial Intelligence and Orchestration, and Robotics and Automation.
The next generation of industrial technology leaders will not be built in isolation. They will be built close to customers, data and real operations. That is where RunwayVC looks for them.
Capital gets you in.
Industrial access gets you further
We work close to operators, users and decision-makers who know which problems are worth solving. That insight shapes where we invest, and it shortens the road from development to pilot to paying customer.
A path to industrial deployments
We connect you with the most forward-leaning industrial operators in our network, giving you access to real testbeds where your technology gets validated in live operations, not just pilots on paper.
Industrial domain expertise
We know these industries from the inside, and bring operational understanding into every stage of building your company, from product decisions to go-to-market.
Capital for what comes next
Our model mobilizes tier-1 investors from Europe and beyond to take you to the next level.
