Nine Realms

DK

Nine Realms Venture Capital focuses on empowering future supply chains, a $7 trillion global market they see as ripe for disruption due to analog processes and inefficiencies. They recognize the significant impact of supply chains on carbon emissions, accounting for 90% of emissions outside a company's direct control. They believe the accelerating pace of change and macroeconomic disruptions increase the urgency to innovate within this sector. Their investment strategy revolves around optimizing supply chains through digitization and AI, enhancing delivery times, cost efficiency, reliability, reducing carbon emissions, and improving inventory turnover. They also prioritize automation through software-driven solutions integrated with robotics and drones, targeting labor inefficiencies and shortages. Sustainability is a key focus, with investments in solutions that promote transparency and sustainable movements of goods, reduce harmful materials, emissions, and waste. Nine Realms aims to invest in founders with dual expertise in technology and industry that can foster disruptive business models. They look for early-growth companies to leverage their industry expertise to gain traction and bridge the gap between early-stage specialists and later-stage growth equity. A core part of their thesis is helping supply chain startups identify, realize, and leverage the profound environmental impact their innovations create. They provide value creation and partnerships by engaging actively at board and operator levels. This specialized support comes through their own expertise, their networks, and their corporate partners. Their investment approach centers on tech-enabled business models with significant product-market fit in the supply chain sector.
