Frequently asked questions
What is rpv’s sector focus, and what does it explicitly avoid?
rpv invests in deep-tech ventures across neuroscience, manufacturing, hardware, medical devices, and energy. The firm has not published a negative sector list, but its portfolio and team bios show no exposure to consumer internet, enterprise SaaS, fintech, or content platforms — the common exclusions are any business model that does not rest on defensible scientific or engineering moats (per rpv.global, 2025).
