We Like Smart Things

Our world is going "hands-free". Smart cities, autonomous cars, and intelligent factories - they are already an emerging reality. A new technology era is upon us: the impact will be transformational, and the value creation will be enormous.

That is why we like smart things.

We Like Smart Money

The real investment is time-spent. We partner with disciplined, strategic and patient investors – those not looking for a quick exit. We think wealth creation is hard-won and requires a long-view.

We are Generation Ventures for a reason.

We Like Smart Companies

Companies get smart - they aren't born smart. Talent gets them there. Battle-tested, domain intelligent, and innovative people build smart companies. We invest in smart people solving big problems with innovative products that people are using - right now.

That is what we call a smart company.
