Investment thesis
AM Ventures is dedicated to venture capital investment in industrial 3D printing and additive manufacturing. The firm backs founders and people behind next-level technologies rather than technology alone, aiming to support those building a better future through additive manufacturing. Investment focus spans the full value chain: materials production, refining and R&D for metals, polymers, ceramics and composites; software solutions across the digital additive manufacturing workflow; hardware and periphery for production and post-processing; and applications designed for or produced by AM technologies. The firm operates with a global focus, supported by scouts and network partners across 13 countries on four continents.
