Founded in 2021, DnA Ventures is a early-stage investment firm, combining strategic capital with non-dilutive R&D funding support. Our mission is to accelerate the adoption of technology and help build the next generation of industrial leaders.

With a strong background in consulting, we have supported 50+ leading manufacturing organizations, across automotive and aerospace, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, whitegoods, and industrial machinery, to drive innovation, enhance productivity, and advance environmental sustainability across their operations. This gives us a unique edge in understanding the priorities of producers, their pain points, and technology trends within the industrial sector.

We also help innovative organizations with a strong technical edge to secure non-dilutive public funding, unlocking new pathways for growth and innovation.
