Vannevar Ventures

Vannevar Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund led by Tyler Knight, focused on investing in startups that are developing next-generation technology infrastructure for the physical sectors of the economy and national security. The fund operates in the venture capital market, targeting startups that solve complex engineering problems at the intersection of digital and physical realms, often referred to as 'bits, atoms, and American Dynamism.'

Vannevar Ventures primarily serves ambitious founders who are working on groundbreaking technologies that have the potential to create significant economic and national security impacts. The fund's investment thesis is built on the belief that macroeconomic, geopolitical, and technological forces are converging to create a unique opportunity for transformative innovation.

The business model of Vannevar Ventures involves identifying high-potential startups, providing them with capital, and supporting their growth through strategic guidance and networking opportunities. The fund makes money by taking equity stakes in these startups and realizing returns when these companies achieve successful exits, such as through acquisitions or initial public offerings (IPOs).
