Fund History
- Autotech Ventures closed its inaugural fund at $120 million in July 2017, roughly eighteen months after the vehicle's first close in December 2015, and the raise was oversubscribed.
- Fund I was assembled largely from corporate strategics rather than traditional institutions: vehicle manufacturers, tier-one suppliers including BorgWarner and Autoliv, parts distributors, repair-shop chains, leasing corporations, refueling networks, dealership groups and trucking firms whose combined market capitalization exceeded $500 billion.
- Early Fund I positions included Lyft, DeepScale, Volta Charging, Outdoorsy and Work Truck Solutions.
- Fund II followed at more than $150 million.
- Fund III closed at $230 million in April 2023, the firm's largest vehicle to date, carrying a Seed through Series C mandate across ground transportation.
- Cumulative assets under management now exceed $500 million.
- The strategy has narrowed across successive vintages toward software, services and capital-light hardware rather than capital-intensive vehicle programs, with the corporate limited partner base functioning as a commercial channel that routes portfolio company management teams to incumbent automotive and logistics buyers.

A Form D is the notice a fund files with the SEC when it raises money in a private offering. Feeder funds, parallel funds and SPVs each file their own, so the count measures filing activity, not the number of flagship funds.
