Trucks Venture Capital
Overview
Trucks Venture Capital is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm dedicated to funding entrepreneurs who are shaping the future of transportation. The firm focuses on early-stage investments in companies that aim to make transportation decarbonized, safer, and more accessible. Their portfolio includes companies specializing in automated agriculture, safe and affordable air travel, software for automated fleets, e-commerce for vehicle dealerships, and driver safety analytics. In January 2025, Trucks VC launched its third fund, Trucks Venture Fund 3 LP, closing on $70 million in commitments. The firm plans to make about 30 initial seed investments from this fund, writing checks between $500,000 to $2 million at seed and pre-seed stages. Trucks typically aims to obtain about 10% ownership stakes as part of its strategy. Trucks VC has a history of successful exits, including the acquisition of Bear Flag Robotics by John Deere, the listing of Joby Aviation on the NYSE under the ticker JOBY, the acquisition of NuTonomy by Delphi, the acquisition of Roadster by CDK Global, and the acquisition of Zendrive by Intuit. These exits demonstrate the firm's ability to identify and support innovative companies in the transportation sector.
