About Next47

N47, formerly known as Next47 and originally Siemens Venture Capital, is a global venture capital firm founded in 2016. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with offices in Tel Aviv, London, and Munich, it invests in enterprise technology companies across early to growth stages. Beyond capital, N47 offers builder-focused resources through its "Insights" hub — podcasts, playbooks, and perspectives on AI and product strategy — plus hands-on partnership support to help founders scale. Its focus spans systems, infrastructure, and applications, especially AI-driven enterprise software, security, and robotics. Notable investments include Verkada, Skydio, VAST Data, BuildOps, Tractian, Encord, and Sona, alongside earlier bets like ChargePoint and LanzaTech. N47's philosophy is "product first" — investing based on product conviction before buzz or metrics, backing bold builders from early insight through scale.
