About A113 Venture Fund

At A113 Venture Fund, we invest in bold ideas, build high-impact platforms, and support visionary leaders transforming critical industries. Our portfolio encompasses edge computing, energy storage, aerospace, AI, robotics, immersive technologies, and infrastructure modernization—each company addressing a vital component of the 21st-century innovation puzzle.

 

With over 25 years of cross-sector leadership experience, our founder brings deep operational expertise in building companies at the intersection of defense, energy, telecommunications, and intelligent systems. We specialize in unlocking capital, accelerating commercialization, enabling public-private partnerships, and guiding ventures toward billion-dollar outcomes.

 

What sets us apart is how our ecosystem works together. Our companies operate as nodes in a larger strategy to digitize, electrify, and connect the world from the edge out. We develop and deploy modular energy and computing infrastructure, autonomous robotics for logistics and defense, orbital platforms and power systems for space, immersive XR tools for workforce training, and intelligent storytelling platforms to drive public engagement and education.

 

At the center of this strategy is a converged infrastructure model that unifies AI, energy storage, private networks, and edge computing into a flexible architecture. This architecture is designed to scale across diverse environments—from disaster recovery zones and rural utilities to smart campuses, aerospace operations, and national defense installations. The result is a replicable, modular framework for deploying next-generation digital and energy infrastructure wherever it’s needed most.

​

Each portfolio company plays a strategic role in this system. AVAI Robotics delivers autonomous ground and aerial mobility to extend intelligent operations. Converged Edge builds modular edge data centers that host AI workloads, manage localized compute, and power private 5G/CBRS networks. Space Energy Power provides orbital energy and data platforms that communicate with terrestrial infrastructure. XR2 Lead trains next-generation talent using immersive environments tied directly to real-world operational systems. And The Watt Hour captures and shares the human story behind these innovations, connecting policymakers, communities, and industry leaders to the mission.

​

From utilities and public safety to defense and space exploration, we support the deployment of decentralized, sovereign infrastructure powered by AI and backed by secure communications, resilient energy, and intelligent automation. Our partners include capital providers, real estate developers, utilities, research institutions, and federal agencies—all aligned to bring forward a world where physical infrastructure and digital intelligence operate as one seamless system.

​

If your organization is looking to lead in an AI-driven, decentralized world—let’s connect. Together, we can shape the next industrial era from the edge out.
