Rockpile Ventures is a Seattle-based accelerator of Edge AI startups. We believe the next generation of multi-billion-dollar companies will emerge at the intersection of sensors and the cloud, where inference and actuation happen, where many startups possess strong R&D but need further expertise to scale beyond proof-of-concept trials. 

We look globally, taking early positions in frontier technologies which unlock efficiencies in enterprises’ core operational processes and which extend capital assets’ lifespan.  As active partners, our team of experienced operators works side-by-side with founders to connect to major cloud ecosystems like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform, accelerate growth, and hit go-to-market milestones.

“A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.”
