Chris Thomas co-founded and invested from three global mobility hubs—Detroit, Berlin, and Silicon Valley—to bridge legacy automotive and manufacturing with frontier mobility technology across the U.S. and Europe. He positions himself as a reindustrialization investor who uses venture capital to rebuild and modernize U.S. and Midwest industrial strength in transportation, logistics, and manufacturing rather than just funding software or consumer apps.
