Cartography Capital invests in the raw materials and infrastructure that underlie technologies like AI chips, quantum computers, robots, batteries, solar panels, biotech, and space tools, backing companies in areas such as carbon-capture-to-graphite biotech, electric hydrofoils, AI-driven materials discovery, and mineral exploration rather than typical software startups. Run by an operator-heavy team with a track record of helping drive over $550 million in VC funding, the fund follows a quiet, low-profile approach aimed at select investors who are comfortable taking on this kind of risk alongside the partners.
