Rock Yard Ventures is a Seed-stage VC firm investing in badass founders who are redefining core industries.

CONSTRUCTION • SUPPLY CHAIN • MANUFACTURING • ENERGY • INFRASTRUCTURE

We know what it means to fight for every inch on the journey from 0-1. It’s in our DNA.

We’re ready to do it with you.

Key Details

  • We invest across the industrial base. This means everything from construction, supply chain, manufacturing, energy, and frontier tech (quantum, chip design, and sometimes cyber)

  • We invest exclusively in US-based companies.

  • We usually invest $50k—$100k in Pre-Seed and Seed rounds. We traditionally do not lead rounds, but we are fine committing before a lead.

    On special occasions, we have also written smaller exploratory $10k-$25k checks in companies we absolutely love.

  • In the early stages, network is everything. We work hard to help our founders lock in their first big customers, smooth out GTM and sales motions, brainstorm how to build top-of-funnel, and help them fundraise.
