40 North Ventures, an early-to-growth stage venture capital fund focused on technology investments in the industrial sector, announced today its acquisition of investments in eleven companies from GE Ventures' portfolio. These eleven new portfolio companies are aligned with 40 North Ventures' focus on technology and business model innovation, adding to its growing portfolio of high-performance companies building the industrial future.

Founded by Standard Industries Co-CEOs David Millstone and David Winter, and led by Co-Managing Directors Marc van den Berg and Marianne Wu, 40 North Ventures is committed to changing the industrial sector.

"The addition of these eleven remarkable companies supports 40 North Ventures' mission to bring disruptive change to established industries and to empower innovators eager to reimagine these sectors."

The new portfolio companies are leaders in advanced manufacturing and engineering (Carbon, Desktop Metal, Aras), vehicle electrification and distributed energy (Proterra, Volta, Enbala), workforce productivity applications (Catalant, Upskill), key enabling component technologies (Menlo Micro) and broad applications for industrial enterprises like AI/ML powered data solutions (Nexar, Tamr).

"Each of these companies has been doing important work to advance the industrial sector and 40 North Ventures has the network and deep industry experience to accelerate their growth," said Marianne Wu, co-managing director of 40 North Ventures. "I'm looking forward to reuniting with these transformative companies, given the time I spent working with them at GE Ventures."
