Full-stack industrial technology investor backing hardware-software-data companies in manufacturing, logistics, energy, and transportation. Uses a distinctive Venture Equity model to co-found companies with senior operators from Tesla, Amazon Robotics, and Northvolt, going from idea to product and early manufacturing in 6-12 months.
Seed–Series A investor built specifically around industrial tech (supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, robotics, automation), a category kingmaker in logistics/supply-chain AI offering deep operational support and community convening.
Seed-stage investor focused on Industry 4.0 (energy, construction, supply chain, transportation), backing software-centric, off-the-shelf-hardware models and guiding AI-native startups to enterprise traction with ultra-capital-efficient, no-unpaid-pilot discipline. Founded around an Industry 4.0 thesis that treats energy, construction, supply chain, and transportation as an interconnected $3T backbone requiring digitization and decarbonization.
Stage Venture Partners is led by a former value investor who applies value-investing tools like unit economics and downside analysis to seed-stage venture investing, while maniacally focusing on deep-tech B2B use cases in space tech, industrial robotics, life sciences, and defense that have high technical risk but low competition risk. The firm has become the go-to seed investor for ex-SpaceX and deep-tech founders in LA, backing teams that can ship enterprise-grade products on tens of thousands of dollars rather than millions, and explicitly targeting regulated environments like hospitals, clinical trials, and space missions where legacy companies like Boeing and Lockheed represent national-security liabilities.
