Embedded Ventures is a Los Angeles-based, operator-led venture capital firm investing in early-stage dual-use deep tech startups across three core verticals: digital engineering, advanced manufacturing, and space infrastructure. The firm backs companies whose technologies serve both commercial and national security customers, leveraging the founding team's firsthand experience building Relativity Space, SpaceX Crew Dragon components, and scaling engineering teams from 2 to 1,200 employees. Embedded's differentiated approach rests on four pillars: technical diligence (the partners are engineers who can evaluate deep tech readiness), talent (an unmatched network for recruiting scarce engineers), government access (positions on the National Space Council and Defense Science Board), and patient capital. As Bryant stated: 'We have patient capital and — even if that means we have to miss out on an opportunity — that's OK. Every company has to go through our diligence process and it's more thorough than most.' The firm holds a first-of-its-kind cooperative agreement with the U.S. Space Force's SpaceWERX office, bridging portfolio companies to national security adoption pathways.
Notable quotes
“We have patient capital and – even if that means we have to miss out on an opportunity – that's OK. Every company has to go through our diligence process and it's more thorough than most.”
“Often venture investors have the first eyes on new technologies. [Our relationship with the Space Force is about] how we get that in the eyes and ears of people who are making the decisions on what to adopt, or where to drive things like congressional funding.”
“Inversion's dual-use strategy makes them a perfect fit for Embedded Ventures, and the advances they have made in less than a year matches the pace we've wanted to see in the space industry for a long time.”
