NEXTFAB VENTURES

SEED CAPITAL AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT FOR HARD-TECH STARTUPS

Do you need funding or product design help? A combination of the two?

We partner with founders building venture-scale companies in critical technologies

NextFab Ventures is a pre-seed, hardware-focused catalytic investor and product development partner. We invest in cleantech, robotics and automation, and other hard-tech sectors where early technical risk often prevents great companies from getting funded.

We exist to change those odds.

We systematically derisk breakthrough technologies. By combining seed capital with hands-on engineering support, business guidance, and milestone-driven execution, we help founders move from concept to validated prototype and into institutional follow-on capital.

Through deep technical engagement and access to contract manufacturers, advisors, and downstream investors, we help entrepreneurs reach the inflection points that unlock Series A and beyond.

 How is NextFab Ventures different from a typical investor or a product development firm?
