What is Schematic Ventures?

Schematic Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm based in San Francisco, focusing on investments in technology companies within supply chain, manufacturing, commerce infrastructure, and digital industrial sectors.

Their targeted geography includes teams based in the United States or Canada. Schematic Ventures aims to invest in companies that make and move the world, contributing to the industrial technology community's growth. They are known for a proven track record in supporting founders through the development phase.

The firm prefers to lead pre-seed and seed rounds, and their average check size ranges from $1M to $2M, though they are also open to co-investing in rounds where they are not the lead investor.

Post-investment, Schematic Ventures provides tailored support to their portfolio companies, including assistance in hiring, sales and customer introductions, service provider recommendations, and partnership discounts, as well as fundraising and investor introductions. Additionally, they host event series in San Francisco, such as reSupply and reForge, which are leading supply chain and manufacturing technology events designed to unite entrepreneurs, operators, and investors from the industrial technology community.

The firm's portfolio includes a range of companies with innovations such as Air Freight AI, Time Critical Shipping, Supply Chain Intelligence, EV Fleet Operations, Robot Software Infrastructure, and several others across the sectors they specialize in.
