Olaf Sakkers wrote the Mobility Disruption Framework, a well-regarded body of work that applies economics to transportation, and he's known for original concepts like CATS and DOGs, dematerialisation of transport, and Throughput Construction Cost, along with a focus on fleet utilization and a rare openness to hydrogen vehicles among mobility investors. Before founding RedBlue, he spent six years at Maniv Mobility, giving him a long track record centered specifically on transportation rather than general investing.
About their Fund
RedBlue is a venture fund built by former Maniv Mobility investors Olaf Sakkers and Prescott Watson, focused on real-economy sectors like transportation, logistics, energy transition, and industrial systems, and known for publishing detailed frameworks—such as Sakkers' Mobility Disruption Framework and essays like "Realizing Generalizable Robotics"—that lay out how they think about these industries. The fund is willing to back capital-intensive, early-stage industrial bets, shown by its lead role in a $28M seed round for EVage, an electric commercial vehicle maker using a "Modular Micro Manufacturing" approach, and it operates globally through vehicles like its India Green Growth fund while looking for founders who are humble and open to two-way conversations.
