Connected Solutions for Impact
Steamwork Ventures is a venture capital firm based in Los Angeles, investing in early-stage companies working on connected solutions that positively impact wealth, health, or sustainability.
We see connected solutions as an investment opportunity with the potential for triple revenue streams: devices, service, and data, with a preference for an asset-light manufacturing approach.
Our due diligence process evaluates and values the industry experience of the founding team, high financial, emotional and cross-cultural intelligence, the social impact and ethical use of the product in addition to projections of exceptional returns.
