If you’re anything like me, then you endlessly come up with business ideas that you think could really be worthwhile. For instance, what about an advanced AI that will create any media you dictate on command (e.g., “Siri, please curate an episode of Friends in which all of the characters are played by the cast of Seinfeld!”)? All that’s missing to bring your amazing concept into the real world is the necessary funding.
To help you get your idea off the ground, we are exploring the world of capital funding, specifically with a focus on additive manufacturing (AM). With that in mind, we will begin our series with 3D printing-specific venture capital funds. Not all of the players on this list are entirely dedicated to the technology, but they either have enough of a role in the AM industry or dedicate enough funds to 3D printing that they’re worth including.
