We earned our place.

Why we invested

Some of the hardest companies to build solve equally hard operational problems. From the beginning, we saw founders with the vision, discipline, and technical ability to tackle challenges that wouldn't have simple solutions. These were founders who had a unique skillset and experience that came from working with one of the largest logistics companies on the planet. As the company grew, our conviction only increased through the quality of the team, the ambition of the business, and its consistent ability to execute. Cobot represents the kind of founder we look for. Thoughtful, ambitious, and committed to building the company with the same care they bring to the product.

Partnership

Our role with Cobot has evolved alongside the company. Over the years, we've supported the team across hiring, business development, government and defense initiatives, fundraising, and long-term planning. No single introduction or project defines the partnership. It's the consistency. We've approached the relationship the same way the founders have approached building the company, by showing up with curiosity, urgency, and a willingness to do the work wherever it's needed most.

What we do for them

  • Strategic introductions across customers, operators, and industry leaders
  • Government and defense ecosystem support
  • Talent strategy, recruiting, and organizational planning
  • Capital strategy and investor introductions
  • Long-term operational support through key growth milestones
In their words
We love having MVP on our cap table because they're the only investors we've met who hustle as hard as founders do. They consistently go above and beyond to help us build the company.
