About 8090 Industries
8090 Industries invests in pioneers shaping the new industrial revolution, backing and accelerating today's "Carnegies and Rockefellers" transforming the industrial complex with breakthrough technologies. Founded in 2022, it's headquartered across New York, Texas, D.C., and London, with a focus on industrial decarbonization and climate tech.
Beyond capital, 8090 is backed by a unique LP base of over 20 global industrial conglomerates and multi-generational industrial families, providing portfolio companies strategic partnerships, manufacturing and distribution access, and hands-on operating support beyond typical venture involvement.
The firm operates two strategies: its core Industrial Decarbonization focus (nuclear, biological refineries, clean hydrogen, electrofuels, and geothermal) and the Zenith Fund, targeting mission-critical industries like aerospace, defense, and industrial cybersecurity. Notable investments include Oklo, Cemvita, Infinium, Circ, Quaise, Armada, and Varda Space Industries.
8090 invests from pre-seed through growth equity stages, having made over 50 investments and recorded at least four exits, including Oklo's IPO. Its criteria center exclusively on breakthrough, zero-carbon solutions within capital-intensive, mission-critical industrial sectors.
