Momenta has led an investment in Frenos, alongside a strong syndicate.

AI is accelerating cyber threats.
OT security is still manual and episodic.
Why? Even routine scans can disrupt operations so production systems are rarely tested.

Frenos changes that by combining:
- a digital twin of the OT environment built from existing data
- AI adversary simulation and attack path analysis
- prioritized mitigations and posture management without touching production systems

Safe to deploy.
Continuous by design.
Built to scale.

From periodic testing to continuous resilience.

Momenta leads Frenos investment. AI-native OT cybersecurity platform using digital twins and adversary simulation for continuous risk assessment, for operators.

Most commentary on ABB's proposed acquisition of Rotork focuses on the $5.5B price tag.
The more interesting question is what the transaction reveals about where industrial value creation is heading.

After years of investing in visibility and insight, the next challenge may be helping operators turn insight into trusted action.

In our latest Industrial Insight, we explore what ABB's move may signal about the next phase of industrial transformation.

ABB's acquisition of Rotork reveals a broader shift in industrial value creation—from generating insight to enabling trusted action. What comes next?

Industrial AI founders:
A successful pilot doesn't guarantee a production deployment.

The biggest obstacles are often not technical. They're organizational.
Ownership. Security. Procurement. Budget. Change management.

In our latest Industrial Insight, we explore the questions founders should ask before investing months into a pilot.

If you're building an industrial AI company, we'd be interested in hearing about your experience.

Why do industrial AI pilots stall after they succeed? Explore the questions around ownership, adoption, and scale that determine whether deployment happens

Minds.ai acquired by Applied Materials.

Congratulations to founders Sumit Sanyal and Tijmen Tieleman, CEO Itzik Gilboa and the entire Minds.ai team, on this milestone.

We invested because we believed AI would become a critical capability in semiconductor manufacturing. Minds.ai turned that vision into real-world impact.

Proud to have supported the team on the journey.

We first invested in Luffy in 2024.

We are investing again because our conviction has strengthened.

Industrial AI has spent the last decade helping operators understand and predict.
The next decade will be about adaptation.

Luffy is building neuroplastic AI for real time adaptive control, enabling physical systems to continuously learn and improve at the edge. This is applied AI embedded into the systems that power industry.

Congratulations to Matthew Carr, Alex Meakins and the Luffy team on their £8.1M Series A financing.

Momenta increases investment in Luffy AI: Adaptive intelligence becomes the control layer for Physical AI, enabling industrial systems to learn and adapt.

MCP is changing how industrial software is used, or more precisely, invoked.
When agents become the primary interface, distribution starts to shift.
Our latest Industrial Insight: what this means in practice.

In industrial AI, MCP turns software into callable capabilities for agent workflows, reducing reliance on UI & redefining how APIs and tools are accessed.
