About Shadow Ventures
We believe modernizing the world’s critical physical infrastructure – such as buildings, housing, civil infrastructure (roads, bridges, transit), energy and power grids, data centers, building products, supply chain/cold chain, and water –is one of the world’s most pressing challenges. The funding required to upgrade our infrastructure over the next decade is enormous. With global fiscal deficits at all-time highs, there seems to be one viable solution: armies of technical teams building infrastructure products via code, automation, and materials breakthroughs.
The problem is that today, startups focused on transforming core physical infrastructure receive less than 2% of all venture capital funding, which is woefully undercapitalized compared to their corresponding 20% share of global GDP.
We believe that frontier technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and advances in materials science represent a paradigm shift in how we modernize, maintain, and construct the physical world around us.
