Savant

Savant is a sector agnostic incubator and venture capital company that exists to help hardware technology businesses conceptualize, invent and scale.

Savant fills a critical gap in the early stage funding space. We provide a supportive, founder friendly environment for very early- stage hardware technology innovators and founders. We use our 20 years of experience to support startup companies. We typically write the first commercial funding cheques that go into these businesses and greatly enhance the probability of success of our investments.
