UP.Partners: Track Record & Portfolio
Since its founding, UP.Partners has built a distinctive track record backing some of the most exciting companies shaping the moving world. The portfolio includes Beta Technologies, a leader in electric aviation; Skydio, the U.S. drone company redefining autonomous flight; Noble Machines, developing advanced humanoid robots; and Havoc, a frontier player multi-domain autonomy.
Beyond investments, UP.Partners has forged bold public-private partnerships, including the creation of UP.Abundance with the New Mexico State Investment Council to attract and grow mobility, energy, and climate startups in the region. That initiative recently welcomed Pacific Fusion, which announced a landmark $1 billion investment to establish a fusion reactor demonstration facility in New Mexico. Together, these efforts showcase UP.Partners’ ability to catalyze transformative technologies, attract major capital commitments, and partner with governments to accelerate innovation in the physical world.
Strategic Vision
UP.Partners will actively seek out companies pushing the boundaries of how we move people and goods, how we build and operate factories, and how we interact with the physical environment through intelligent machines. By providing these innovators with capital and industry expertise, UP.Partners aims to accelerate development of next-generation solutions — whether autonomous logistics robots, smart supply chain platforms, or new sustainable materials for manufacturing.
