Porsche Ventures, founded in 2016 as the venture capital arm of Porsche AG, invests in early to growth-stage startups around the world. With headquarters in Stuttgart and offices in Palo Alto, Los Angeles, Luxembourg, Berlin and Tel Aviv, the firm taps Porsche’s engineering and manufacturing background to back entrepreneurs driving innovation in industrial sectors. Its global presence enables close collaboration with founders on product development, market entry and strategic alignment with major enterprise customers.
The firm concentrates on three main areas: industrial technology, mobility and sustainability. In the industrial technology space, it supports founders building hardware and software for large enterprises. In mobility, it seeks advances in transport, motion and related services. Under sustainability, the focus is on solutions that reduce emissions and strengthen resilience. Porsche Ventures provides capital alongside strategic support, granting portfolio companies access to Porsche’s supply chain, commercial channels and technical experts, which can accelerate commercialization and scale.
Clean tech and battery technology are core pillars of the firm’s sustainability agenda. Key investments include Group14 Technologies, a US-based developer of silicon-carbon anodes that improve energy density and charging performance for electric vehicles, and South 8 Technologies, which offers a liquefied gas electrolyte to boost battery performance in extreme conditions. The portfolio also features companies focused on battery recycling, bio-based high-performance materials and carbon-neutral power systems. A dedicated China fund further targets energy and connected vehicle ventures in Asia, underscoring Porsche Ventures’ commitment to next-generation energy solutions.
