The Infrastructure Transition

Artificial intelligence is no longer experimental. It is rapidly becoming the infrastructure layer of every industry -- embedded in how companies operate, compete, and create value. The companies that will define the next era are not just using AI; they are building the systems, platforms, and tools that make AI operational at scale.

MAKR Venture Fund backs companies advancing artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies that redefine how systems, cities and industries operate. We invest where technology becomes infrastructure, identifying founders building the next generation of platforms in AI, automation and analytics.

Functions as a venture capital fund dedicated to investing in high-potential start-ups developing breakthrough solutions across critical sectors. We concentrate on five core thematic areas that represent fundamental infrastructure for technological and societal development.
