Very excited to welcome our latest Hannah Grey VC investment into the portfolio, Composabl ! Composabl’s no-code UI empowers engineers to create sophisticated building blocks; production-ready Autonomous Intelligent Agents built for Industrials. With Composabl, engineers can directly teach AI agents to work alongside them in real-world settings, leveraging operator expertise to guide the development of autonomous automation effortlessly. Unlike traditional automation, Composabl agents can make decisions based on perception, much like a human would, and is capable of managing a diverse range of equipment, from CNC machines and bulldozers to drones, robotic arms, and chillers. In short, this is revolutionzing the manufacturing process in the age of AI. We are thrilled to support this incredible team of ex-Microsoft engineers led by industry thought leader Kence Anderson and 🤖 Xavier Geerinck . Kence’s founder/market is exceptional, his book, Designing Autonomous Agents share more about his unique methodology: Machine Teaching. We believe the Machine Teaching methodology will be to Autonomously Agents that Prompt Engineering has become for Generative AI. We look forward to working alongside our co-investors Momenta Ridgeline Exposition Ventures and more on this next phase of growth! Link to press and to join the waitlist in the comments below ✨

The hype of AI in the construction industry is receding and the reality is taking hold. Numerous startups are building applications, hardware and robots that will historically change the way projects are done. via Forbes https://lnkd.in/gaRKB9J5

€9.6 Mln Funding Industrial companies are challenged by the task of managing and leveraging the tremendous amount of data generated throughout engineering, production, and operational phases of their manufacturing plants. As technology progresses, the emergence of sophisticated sensors offer unprecedented opportunities to refine and optimize processes, from the drafting table to the factory floor. This data, however, is often not utilized along the entire value chain to predict and identify errors or support service engineers. Adding high quality 3D data into the scene leads to even more challenges to support efficient processes. NICHE TO MAINSTREAM Digital twins rely on 3D representation to provide a realistic visualization and precise simulation. However, the primary challenge lies in the conversion process. The transformation from a 2D model to its 3D counterpart demands a profound understanding of spatial dimensions, precision and visual accuracy. However, addressing this challenge has created a massive market opportunity for startups offering solutions. One of the startups is Threedy. Threedy is a company offering a unique infrastructure component that allows companies to meet the ever-growing need for highly available 3D data in responsive and interactive 3D applications. The company’ s instant3Dhub empowers companies to effortlessly access their most valuable assets – 3D Data – in real-time, on any device, at any given moment. With a wide range of features for digital engineering, advanced collaboration, and seamless Mixed Reality, Threedy’ s software provides a strong foundation for industrial digital transformation. The startup allows you to establish a modern software architecture that opens the door to the agile development and scalable roll-out of a modern lightweight application layer. Threedy has raised €9.6 million in funding. The startup will use the fund to commercialize its innovative spatial computing infrastructure, accelerating the adoption across industries and application scenarios. The investment will further enable Threedy to drive the evolution of its product portfolio. Threedy’s expansion plans include further internationalization, while remaining dedicated to excellence and innovation, and making a lasting impact in serving their partners’ digital transformation. #funding #spartialtech #startup #3D #realtime #visualization #representation #vc

Article Spotlight: Building Ventures Investment Thesis - Jesse Devitte, Constructing a Better Built World 🌎 After almost a decade of construction technologies entering the market, it's clear that automating project control processes can help stakeholders crisply understand the true status of a project and identify paths to get back on track. "We are in the midst of an instructive moment that will set the tone and standard for how we build a better world. With these current tools leveraging cloud technology, AI, robotics, and MMC, we can envision a more dependable, more reliable construction process in the future. This sure feels like a tipping point. It is this confluence of factors—another strange brew — that when mixed together provides the environment to bend the curve on cost, collaboration, sustainability, and safety. Achieving this will allow our industry to deliver projects on time and on budget as a rule, not an exception." Ditto, Jesse. We are thankful to be backed by partners aligned with our mission to keep projects on time, on budget, and out of court.

A great Monday morning read on #industrialtech investments. Thank you Jacob Fellman! He has been one of my frequent interlocutors and NGP Capital one of few players I know to spend time to understand the space and invest into it at scale. I could not agree more that #industrialtech is an attractive investment field now more than ever. We have been successful operator-investors since 2015 in #energyefficiency, #logisticstech, #industrialautomation, and #circularity well before it was cool. But the sector is not for everyone and I have seen many a VC loose patience and faith. What most people do not understand is that the power of exponential growth is hard to observe early-on. As operators in industry, we have a front-row view on how industry is deploying technology and see growth reach an inflection point in the next 1-3 years. That makes now an excellent time to invest in the sector.
