Robot Valley Capital is conceived from a traditional family office model — the partners investing their own capital — structured to let others join the journey. Partners Thomas Visti and Lasse Kieffer bring over 25 years of combined experience managing and growing robot and automation companies, applying conservative, fundamental business principles informed by firsthand knowledge of what succeeds and fails in the industry.
Investment Focus: Long-term, concentrated, industry-specific exposure to the robot and automation sector, through listed companies and lesser-known subcontractors enabling technological advances — including the shift toward high-tech sensors and computer technology beyond traditional iron and servo drives.
What They Look For: Opportunistic, long-term positions in robot and automation businesses — both established listed players and under-the-radar subcontractors — balancing risk and return in a fast-evolving technology landscape.
$500M | Copenhagen
Peblinge Ventures is a small family office pooling its own evergreen capital to back around twenty early-stage teams since 2020 — "low-noise, high-conviction, founder-first." All sourcing and decisions sit with the family directly (no outside managers or hired analysts), supported by an in-house, AI-driven diligence stack that lets a lean team engage deeply with technical founders. Its sister office, Elmehøj Ventures, handles life-science, medtech, and health-tech investments separately.
Investment Focus: Pre-seed and seed-stage B2B software, fintech, and deep tech across the Nordic region (occasionally elsewhere for an exceptional fit), with modest tickets around 250K DKK and no push for double-digit ownership.
What They Look For: Ambitious teams building large, category-defining companies rather than staying small or capital-intensive — willing to stay through the quiet, difficult years alongside angels, operators, and other funds rather than dominating the cap table.
