TDK Ventures has announced the launch of Fund 3, a $150 million investment vehicle aimed at early-stage deeptech startups, pushing its total assets under management to $500 million. This milestone cements the firm’s position as a global impact investor focused on sustainable innovation and technological transformation.
Fund 3 continues the strategy of its predecessors—Funds 1, 2, and EX1—targeting Seed to Series B startups across six core domains: AI and Compute, Advanced Materials, Climate-Tech, Robotics and Manufacturing, Mobility and AgTech, and the Digital Economy. Each area aligns with pressing global megatrends and TDK’s long-term transformation agenda.
The new fund will invest in innovations ranging from generative AI and photonics to electric mobility, space manufacturing, and circular materials. Startups benefit not only from capital but also from TDK’s extensive R&D capabilities, manufacturing infrastructure, and global partnerships, helping reduce operational risk and accelerate growth.
“Fund 3 is not only a vehicle for investment—it’s a catalyst for TDK Transformation ambition,” said Nicolas Sauvage, President of TDK Ventures.
Backed by TDK’s core expertise in sensor technology, power solutions, and materials science, Fund 3 is designed to act as a strategic growth engine for both the startups it supports and TDK’s broader innovation ecosystem. With a consistently high Net Promoter Score—88% in 2025—TDK Ventures continues to demonstrate strong founder trust and investor alignment.
For institutional investors and corporate leaders, Fund 3 offers early access to the next wave of frontier technologies driving sustainability and industry evolution on a global scale.
