Investment thesis
McRock invests at the intersection of the physical economy and artificial intelligence, backing companies building Industrial AI — software purpose-built to reason, predict, and act on operational data generated by sensors across factories, supply chains, and critical infrastructure. The firm believes intelligence, not connectivity, is now the key constraint and competitive advantage in the physical world. It emphasizes digital agents: software that participates in operations alongside engineers and operators to surface insights, anticipate failures, and make real-time decisions. Drawing on more than a decade of exclusive focus on Industrial Software and the Industrial Internet of Things, McRock positions itself to lead investment in the Industrial AI transition.
