Investing in technical entrepreneurs to transform the movement of people, goods, data, and energy. Experience spanning startups to Fortune 500s. Connecting vision with execution to drive mobility innovation.
It's been interesting over the past couple of weeks to step back and reflect on the themes that have emerged from our early Assembly Ventures portfolio. In particular, we've taken a look at investments through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These targets may seem squishy to some, but in my view, also align with a laser focus on business results. Not buying the argument yet? Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7): We've invested in Our Next Energy (ONE), commercializing technology that drives the adoption of clean energy solutions, such as grid storage and electric vehicle batteries. Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9): Our Mobility 4.0 framework embodies our commitment to revolutionizing the digital and physical infrastructure layers that underpin future mobility systems. Integration can create systems that are not only efficient but also sustainable and scalable. This unusual holistic approach ensures that our investments support resilient and innovative industrial ecosystems. Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12): We invest in and support startups that leverage AI, data analytics, and advanced sensors to drive profitability and sustainability at industrial scale. Companies like Sortera Technologies, Inc. create true material circularity through innovative recycling technologies, thereby reducing waste and fostering a circular economy. This is about more than a feel-good impact. We're talking about real financial returns, industrial resilience, and economic security for the western world. #VentureCapital #CleanEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability
