Ravelin is a venture fund that focuses specifically on critical software and critical industries—such as defense, energy, infrastructure, and industrials—rather than consumer or general software companies, with a portfolio spanning space, defense, industrial automation, power, manufacturing, cybersecurity, lending to real assets, and agriculture robotics. Founder Lucas Vaz built a reputation for getting into early rounds of companies like Apex, Hadrian, Pylon, and Traba before formally launching the fund, Forbes has recognized him as part of an emerging cohort of Latino fund managers, and the team remains lean with just Vaz and venture partner Adam Corey.
