Tramway Venture Partners

Tramway Venture Partners focuses on building disruptive life science companies at the intersection of physical sciences, information technology, and healthcare. The firm leverages New Mexico's technology-rich environment, including partnerships with three national research laboratories (Los Alamos, Sandia, Air Force Research Laboratory) and three research universities. Tramway typically invests in the first institutional round after incubators and angel investors, targeting companies with outstanding management teams, significant intellectual property, and clear market strategies. The firm seeks opportunities that exploit convergent technologies and require less than $30 million in total capital to exit. Tramway positions itself to capitalize on the state's world-class research institutions and untapped potential in 'out-of-the-way' places where opportunities abound, particularly as venture capital shifts focus inland from traditional coastal hubs.
