Investment thesis
RockawayQ operates at the intersection of capital, AI expertise, and industrial knowledge to address the significant digitalization and automation deficit in European manufacturing. The fund combines two investment pillars: private equity stakes in established, profitable technology firms delivering manufacturing modernization solutions (primarily in DACH and broader Europe), and higher-risk growth capital opportunities for rapidly scaling companies in AI and autonomous robotics. The fund seeks to partner closely with industrial enterprises during their transformation, validating that technologies function effectively in real factory environments and deliver measurable results, rather than relying on theoretical performance.
