LMNT Ventures focuses on 'bits and atoms' — startups combining hardware and software, particularly those using physical AI to reshape the physical world. The team draws on decades of hands-on experience in robotics, climate, and industrial technology, emphasizing lived operating and founding experience ('tribal knowledge') to support founders. They position themselves as partners who understand the difficulty of building hardware companies and provide strategic guidance, network introductions, and hands-on support to early-stage founders.
