2022Roadrunner Venture Studios co-founds and backs deep technology companies from Albuquerque.
Roadrunner works with technical founders before a company is fully formed, combining product development, commercialization, executive recruiting, grant support, workspace, and investor access. The model combines several early company-building functions within one organization.
The studio also draws on laboratories, universities, industry partners, and America's Frontier Fund. Its Albuquerque base and separate early-stage fund give portfolio companies access to physical infrastructure and capital alongside operating support.

Roadrunner concentrates on commercializing research in energy, advanced manufacturing, quantum technology, and advanced materials. These fields often require technical validation, specialized facilities, experienced operators, and patient capital before a product reaches customers.
Its studio is structured around those commercialization steps, while its fund provides a separate route for early-stage investment. The opportunity depends on converting research programs into companies with validated products, leadership teams, partners, and follow-on financing.

Roadrunner's public portfolio separates studio ventures from fund investments. Its current portfolio and fund pages name nine companies spanning industrial automation, advanced materials, biotechnology, energy, and quantum technology.
The studio's earlier announcements also identify Hydrosonics as a company it helped build and financed. Roadrunner led that company's pre-seed round, while a separate state grant provided additional capital for development of its hydrogen-production technology.
