Focus statement

Rethink Ventures invests in startups across transportation, logistics, mobility and energy (including battery/EV technologies), with a particular emphasis on companies that can be integrated and scaled with corporate partners to drive industry impact.

Value Add

Explicit, deliberate corporate partnership model — "facilitating connections between startups and corporates, creating a collaborative space for innovation." (lists partners such as ZF Ventures, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, KION Group, Berylls Digital Ventures, HAVI).
Sector-specialization in transportation, logistics, intralogistics, mobility and energy rather than a generalist VC approach.
Preference for scalable software solutions that solve manufacturing/operational bottlenecks (example: Entroview’s software that "can reduce the battery aging process from 4-10 days to just hours").
Hands-on, deal-evaluation and operational involvement from a Munich-based team (team page and hiring for roles tied to deal evaluation and fund operations).
