Why We Invested

Applications of additive manufacturing are growing rapidly across industries. EY estimates an 18.1% CAGR for aerospace additive manufacturing from 2022-2030. Vixiv unlocks the potential of additive with artificial intelligence. The founders' deep experience in math and AI results in designs that transform potential into performance.
Only 30% of people prescribed physical therapy follow through with treatment. Millions end up with more serious conditions and expensive, invasive interventions. Virtualizing musculoskeletal care with a browser-based, AI-driven smartphone interface improves lives and saves billions of dollars.
May 16, 2018, was “all-in day” at Astronomer. Ry Walker, Astronomer founder and then CEO, made a choice that resulted in Astro, the modern data orchestration platform. His instinct and insight were right, and a result of his passion for getting to the optimal solution. We like the massive, brawling data management market, but it requires founders like Ry (now working on Tembo) to make big, risky choices.
Abre’s teacher-founders saw the high cost, and low return of traditional K-12 systems firsthand. Disparate data siloed across multiple applications fails to produce a timely 360-degree performance. Teachers, administrators, parents, and students needed a modern solution. The urgency for the Abre solution is intensifying from the challenges our schools face in the post-pandemic landscape.
