42 VCs and 10 funds investing in Manufacturing
President & Managing Director
General Catalyst
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Her public record spans seed investments through large follow-on rounds, but total financing sizes and General Catalyst's assets are not personal check parameters.
Jeannette is a founder-led generalist investing to strengthen European prosperity and resilience through technology. She backs ambitious companies from ideation onward across AI, defense, energy, industrial transformation, enterprise, and consumer markets, connecting startups with established industry. Her Global Resilience lens focuses on owning critical systems of power, scaling European technical talent, and commercializing technologies until they can thrive without permanent subsidy.
Managing Partner
Paradigm
Check: Paradigm invests at every stage, from first check through public markets. Its fourth fund is $1.2 billion, but neither the firm nor Alana publishes a personal check range; the fund size is therefore not treated as her check authority.
Alana co-leads a research- and builder-led strategy that backs ambitious technical founders from first check through public markets. Paradigm began in crypto and now targets the fastest-moving technology frontiers, including AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, autonomous systems, space and defense, while continuing to invest in crypto-native markets and financial infrastructure.
Co-Founder & CEO, Percepta
General Catalyst
Check: Not applicable. Hirsh leads Percepta, an operating/transformation company, rather than a General Catalyst investment team. Founders seeking GC capital should contact an actual GC investor; enterprises seeking embedded AI transformation can contact Percepta.
Hirsh's operating thesis is that enterprise AI fails when organizations bolt point solutions onto legacy workflows or stop at pilots. Percepta embeds engineers, researchers and product managers inside critical institutions, combining frontier intelligence, proprietary data, domain trust and workforce adoption to redesign operations. The focus is production transformation in healthcare, government, manufacturing and finance—not venture selection or personal check writing.
Partner
Norrsken Impact Fund
Check: Norrsken VC publicly states €1M–€10M early-stage and growth tickets. This is a firm-level range and should not be read as Fabian's individual signing authority.
Fabian looks for technology that improves both the economics and environmental footprint of energy and heavy industry. His research identifies AI-enabled resource efficiency, process optimization and predictive maintenance as especially promising, while investments such as SpotmyEnergy show interest in distributed energy assets and software that turns households into active grid participants.
