Matter Venture Partners raises $300M first fund to invest in ‘hard tech’


Matter Venture Partners will invest in between 15 and 20 companies with the new fund in the area of "hard tech."

Huang led investments into drone maker DJI and 3D printing company Desktop Metal, which went public via SPAC in 2020. Tang has experience in operations, supply chain management and manufacturing unit economics, and Hsieh believes having expertise like this early-on in the life of a hard tech startup is a good value-add. They put “hard tech” into six buckets: semiconductors, automation and robotization, generative AI, manufacturing onshoring and offshoring, energy building blocks and life science.
