C2 Ventures is a venture capital fund that focuses exclusively on "dirty, dull, and dangerous" industries like construction, trucking, and waste management, where they invest in AI and robotics solutions embedded directly into existing workflows for non-technical frontline workers rather than flashy consumer or crypto startups. The fund operates with an unusually operator-heavy structure where ~70% of their LPs are current or former tech operators who provide hands-on technical diligence and portfolio support, while deliberately concentrating on flyover regions outside Silicon Valley to back founders building industrial automation in places like Cleveland, Chicago, and North Dakota.
