In 2025, Momenta advanced new investments, portfolio growth, exits, and steady progress across industrial technology. Thirteen years in, the lesson remains unchanged: lasting industrial impact comes from disciplined, consistent execution, not short bursts of momentum.
Rather than a snapshot of a single year, this review reflects a longer arc. It looks at how consistent execution, early co-creation with industrial partners, and hands-on operator involvement translate ambition into systems that run in real operating environments. It examines what moved forward in 2025, where progress required patience, and why durable industrial impact is built through repetition, discipline, and time.
External recognition, including PitchBook's global Top 10 Manager Performance ranking, reinforces what LPs, founders, and operators experience firsthand: early engagement, deep industrial expertise, and hands-on operator support turn complex technologies into tangible outcomes.
Across our Venture practice and Digital Industry Funds, we invest early and stay involved. We back teams at the most challenging phase of industrial innovation: turning pilots into repeatable, revenue-generating deployments.
Capital alone does not drive adoption: Operator-led support and co-creation with customers and LPs expose integration friction early, shorten learning cycles, and tighten the path from technical validation to production deployment.
This discipline does not slow progress. It accelerates it once systems, ownership, and incentives are in place.
Industrial progress unfolds over years, not quarters. Early co-creation with industrial partners changes the slope of that journey by moving learning into real operating environments sooner.
At Momenta, co-creation is not an add-on; it is how we invest. From the first pilots, we work alongside founders and industrial partners to shape deployments, shorten feedback loops, and move technology into production.
Overview.ai followed this path through early co-creation with Advantech. Overview launched an edge AI vision inspection system combining Advantech’s industrial PC cameras with Overview’s deep-learning software, enabling automated quality inspection directly on production lines. The joint solution is consistently presented as a scalable, production-ready Vision AI offering within Advantech’s edge AI ecosystem.
Edge Impulse began industrial pilots with Advantech shortly after its founding, using early operational feedback to accelerate learning and execution. This co-created trajectory led to its acquisition by Qualcomm within six years.
DataHow is advancing along a similar path, piloting causal AI with Rockwell Automation in live industrial environments focused on learning, performance, and operational fit
Luffy AI is also progressing through co-creation, embedding adaptive AI into industrial control systems with early integrations focused on real-world validation, safety readiness, and system-level performance.
This is where Momenta differs from traditional venture capital: co-creation with industrial partners is not a phase. It is the operating model.

These lessons shaped 2025 and will guide how Momenta invests, co-creates, and scales with founders and industrial partners in 2026 and beyond.
