Bosch Ventures, the venture arm of Bosch, has announced a new $270 million fund dedicated to investing in deep-tech startups, with a focus on North American startups. This marks the sixth fund for Bosch Ventures, which was launched in 2007 and has a global presence.

Despite challenges such as the U.S. trade war with China and market volatility, Bosch Ventures sees strong deal flow in North America. Managing director Ingo Ramesohl expressed optimism about the innovation and disruption happening in the region, making it an ideal time for new investments.

The firm, with offices in various tech hubs worldwide, typically invests between $5 million and $10 million per startup. Ramesohl mentioned that the new fund is a continuation of past successes and highlighted sectors like automotive, climate tech, cybersecurity, and generative AI as areas of interest.
