We are a team of experienced entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists, with decades of experience in mobility and ground transport. We invest globally in pre-seed through Series B startups solving challenges across connectivity, autonomy, shared mobility, electrification and enterprise digitization, with a focus on AI-native, capital-efficient solutions that enable scalable, software-defined business models. When the right opportunity is identified, Autotech makes an initial investment of $1-8M as a lead or follow-on investor.     A unique lens Our team has operated within the ground transport and venture capital industries for decades, growing a unique ability to discover and build startups that can complement or disrupt the transport industry. From being involved very early in highly disruptive companies such as Lyft and SpotHero, to spearheading the United States autonomous vehicle policy framework, to helping transport startups raise in excess of $5B and grow their valuations to more than $25B, our team builds on this experience to fuel our thesis on the future of mobility. We understand macro transport trends and daily operations of transport businesses, allowing us to identify not only widely-hyped startup disruptors, but also non-obvious transport market opportunities in niches that require sector expertise. Bridging the gap. As a team of experienced operators and investors within the ground transportation industry, we deeply understand the challenges founders face at every stage. From identifying key decision makers within large transport incumbents, to honing in on unobvious transport pain points, to navigating the nuances of transport policy, we have done it all. We relish the opportunity to assist our founders in navigating the incumbent transport industry and connect to transport industry insiders to bridge the gap. We aspire to support founders in building world-changing companies that solve the world’s most pressing transport challenges. Bridging the gap.
