Recognized by Pitchbook: Three Years Running.

From Digital Transformation to Industrial Impact® 

For the third consecutive year, Momenta has been recognized by PitchBook in its Global Manager Performance Score League Tables. 

PitchBook created these rankings to help LPs identify managers that consistently outperform their peers, using a methodology that goes beyond traditional fund rankings.

For Momenta, this recognition validates a conviction we have held for more than fifteen years: digital technologies would transform how the physical world operates. 

We have always believed the world’s most important industries would become more connected, intelligent, adaptive, and software-defined. We also knew industrial transformation would not be won by capital alone. It requires patience, domain expertise, trusted relationships, and technologies that survive real operations. 

That is why we call ourselves Venture Industrialists. 

Momenta invests where digital capability meets industrial reality: energy, manufacturing, supply chains, smart infrastructure, robotics, OT cybersecurity, Industrial AI, automation, and connected operations. These technologies scale when operators trust them, customers adopt them, and they create measurable outcomes. 

That operator lens has shaped our model from the beginning. Momenta has built a unique industrial ecosystem that helps founders move beyond pilots and into deployment. For LPs, it provides exposure to one of the world's largest industrial transformations. 

The next phase is physical automation: AI and digital intelligence moving from dashboards into machines, infrastructure, and operating workflows. That is still the same thesis. 

We see the same shift across industrial software. Applications are moving from products people navigate to capabilities agents can invoke directly. The value is moving from the interface into the workflow. Intelligence is no longer the bottleneck. Integration is. The companies that matter next will help industrial operators act faster, coordinate better, and operate with greater trust.

We have spent more than fifteen years focused on a single opportunity: helping industry operate better through technology. The market evolved. Our conviction did not.
