Investment thesis

AVP focuses on robotics platforms and automation solutions transforming physical industries such as manufacturing, logistics, construction, agriculture, healthcare, and hospitality. The firm argues that advances over the past decade in generative AI, computational power, data storage and processing, and falling hardware costs now let robots perform complex tasks in high-variability, high-mix environments at economically attractive terms. Combined with widening labor gaps across industries, AVP believes automation is the only way to sustain economic growth, positioning the firm to back companies at the early stages of a major shift toward robotics adoption in physical sectors.
