Frequently asked questions
What does 'software beyond the screen' actually mean for deal selection?
The thesis excludes companies that build only web or mobile applications with no physical-world interface. Ubiquity invests only when software is controlling hardware, analyzing sensor data, or automating a real-world process — robotics, satellites, computer-vision systems, and industrial IoT all qualify. Nagaraj has publicly described the mandate as a filter that helps the firm avoid crowded consumer-app markets.
Which geographies does Ubiquity invest in?
Ubiquity pursues a global mandate, with confirmed portfolio companies in the United States, New Zealand, and Europe. The firm does not restrict investments by location, and its commitment to Halter, based in Auckland, confirms it will write seed-stage checks outside North America when the technology thesis aligns.
How large is Ubiquity's current investment vehicle?
Ubiquity Ventures III, which the firm closed in January 2024, totals $75 million (per SEC Form D filing). This represents growth from a $25 million first fund in 2018 and a $51 million second fund in 2021. The modest fund size relative to generalist venture peers is a structural choice tied to the firm's seed-stage focus and concentrated portfolio construction.
