Entrepreneurs Build Our Future
We back early-stage founders transforming the physical enterprise.
We are thematic investors.
Enterprise supply chains extend from procurement of materials through manufacturing, warehousing, supplier management, through to the logistics of delivering goods. Across industries, market disruptions, sustainability needs, security risks, and changing geopolitics are driving demand for resilience across these supply chains.
At the same time, technology readiness is at a historic high. Cloud, Data, AI and Robotics innovation rails are delivering magical capabilities at affordable cost to developers. And entrepreneurs are doing the hard work of addressing customer needs using these phenomenal technology building blocks.
Investors at NewBuild have a prepared mind by being present in both industry and technology ecosystems. We help entrepreneurs identify needs, strategize on market insertion, and help them scale new categories. At the same time, companies trust us as an innovation partner during this exciting growth spurt within the physical enterprise.
