What we do
At Dipalo Ventures, we provide product expertise and deep engineering knowledge to help our founders bring breakthrough scientific and engineering innovations to market.
We are at a historic inflection point. Product innovation, global manufacturing, and supply chains must be reimagined to solve critical challenges for people and the planet. Software alone cannot solve these challenges.
As founders set out to bring these innovations from the research lab and prototypes to market commercialization, it’s important to have investors who understand their technology and can provide more than financial investment. At Dipalo Ventures, our Partners are founders and operators who know how to bridge this divide. Join us.
There’s a tremendous amount of craftsmanship in between a great idea and a great product.
