Our Investment Philosophy

We partner with entrepreneurs as a lead or co-investor to help them build the technology that is driving the future of the automotive sector. Bringing our nearly 100 years of global automotive experience to bear for our portfolio companies, our investment strategy is built around being strategic, supportive, and patient.

If the technology you’re building is auto-related, it’s likely that we have either direct experience or partners in the space. For our portfolio companies, we invest not only our dollars, but provide access to our experience, data, network, and resources.

We want to be a long-term partner to the companies we invest in, and we’re not bound to a fixed timeline to harvest our investments. That means we can help you drive your innovation at the right speed with the confidence that we’re in it for the long-haul.
