"The mistake that most CVCs make is trying to learn the job without guidance. Mach49 helped us understand which details matter versus which ones don’t, resulting in a CVC fund that is trusted and relied upon by the full VC ecosystem."
TDK Ventures collaborated closely with Mach49 to design and launch a $50 million corporate venture fund in nine months. Just 18 months after the initial investment, TDK Ventures had three exits. In 2021, Mach49 assisted with the launch of a second, $150 million fund to further TDK Ventures' fast start in materials science investing. We continue to partner, accelerating their investments in early-stage clean technology and advanced materials companies.
"Mach49 has helped us turn ideas into real ventures. Their dedicated mentors, resources, and streamlined processes are a recipe for success. Entrepreneurship is a business where people matter — Mach49 is top of the art."
