TekVentures Information

TekVentures is the corporate venture arm of Teknor Apex, backing early-stage founders reimagining materials, manufacturing and the next century of the made world. We invest in the people rethinking how materials are discovered, sourced, manufactured and reused—and in the technologies transforming industrial operations. Our focus spans next-generation materials and feedstocks, advanced manufacturing and industrial intelligence, from circular polymers, biomaterials and AI-enabled discovery to automation, robotics and connected value chains. Beyond capital, we bring more than a century of Teknor Apex materials and manufacturing experience — and the R&D and production footprint it was built on. We understand the path from laboratory insight to reliable production and aim to be a practical, long-term partner—helping founders navigate materials science, process development, qualification, compliance and manufacturing readiness. Where there is strategic fit, we can also explore opportunities to work with Teknor Apex as a customer, supplier or development partner. We believe materials innovation moves society forward. We are looking for ambitious founders creating better-performing, more efficient and more sustainable ways to make, move and reuse the materials that shape everyday life. Building at the intersection of materials and manufacturing? Let’s talk.
