iRobot Ventures was the strategic investment arm of iRobot. It backed early-stage companies from across the connected hardware ecosystem, investing in applications adjacent to iRobot's core business or in new market opportunities and participating in the early stages of the innovation lifecycle.
iRobot Ventures differentiated itself by syndicating with top-tier venture firms and corporate investors and by providing more than capital, giving portfolio entrepreneurs access to iRobot's engineering and operations resources and to a network of external service providers, investors, and operators. It was geographically agnostic in where it invested and invested alongside other investors in portfolio companies' funding rounds.
