Ruvento Ventures

Vyacheslav Ru, the founding partner, leads investment decisions. Michael Levin is listed as a partner, though Ru remains the central figure. The small partnership structure suggests concentration of IC authority.

The firm sources from two distinct pools: startups emerging from Silicon Valley's engineering culture and those tapping Singapore's advanced-manufacturing supply chain. This dual-node model aims to spot companies that can benefit from Asian production economics while selling into Western enterprise markets.

Hardware specialist. Unlike generalist funds that dabble in frontier tech, Ruvento's portfolio is dominated by companies where physical engineering is the core differentiator — robotics, autonomous vehicles, and manufacturing AI. Public portfolio evidence includes humanoid robotics (Agility Robotics), autonomous delivery (Nuro), and drone airspace management (Airmap).

Pre-seed through Series A, with selective follow-on. The firm enters early enough to influence product-architecture decisions but has participated in later rounds like Agility Robotics' Series B, indicating some dry powder for proven hardware-scale economics.

The firm shows no record of investing in pure software-as-a-service, consumer internet, fintech, or digital health. Its public portfolio skews heavily toward industrial automation, mobility hardware, and enterprise tools with a physical component — a deliberate exclusion of capital-light sectors where it has no structural edge.
