Investment thesis

IRV is an early-stage VC fund built for deep tech.

IRV is an early-stage VC fund built for deep tech and we define deep tech by the strength of your IP, broadly. Not just granted or licensed patents: proprietary datasets, novel designs, trade secrets, any hard-to-replicate know-how. If what you’re building is complex and difficult to copy, we want to talk.

We’ve backed AI, robotics, photonics & sensing, advanced materials, IoT, HMI, and other frontier technologies: the kind that drive disruptive change across complex, demanding industries. If your technology is the moat, we may be the right partner
