Five years in, we still get the question—both internally and externally—about what exactly RWDI Ventures is and what we do.
Short answer: we are a corporate venture studio. But like most creative startup studios, our model is a little different than others and that is mostly because of the type of projects we choose to focus on. We identify problems and build companies to solve them. We then spin them out to grow on their own.
Our mission
What makes RWDI Ventures unique is the type of companies we build. Our mission is to create and scale companies that tackle the most pressing challenges of our time. What sets us apart is our focus on the intersection of the natural and built environments, a field that we call climate and performance engineering.
We’re not interested in building the next social app or lifestyle brand. Our companies are designed to address global challenges that carry existential urgency.
How can we harmonize economic growth with environmental sustainability? How do we enhance the quality of life while preserving the planet for future generations? These are the questions we aim to answer through our startups.
Unfair advantage
With over 50 years of expertise from RWDI, we leverage an incredible foundation of intellectual property, patents, client relationships, and a network spanning 32 offices worldwide. This allows us to create innovative companies deeply rooted in scientific and engineering rigor.
What’s missing?
At RWDI Ventures, we believe in purposeful work that makes a difference. And we are always looking for like-minded individuals and organizations to join us in solving the most important problems of our generation. Is this you? If so, reach out.
