A $1 billion ecosystem architecture investing in AI and emerging technologies that reshape how intelligent infrastructure is designed, built, and operated.
$1.5 trillion will flow into smart city infrastructure by 2030. Most of it will underperform — because the capital stack and the technology stack remain disconnected.
MAKR closes that gap.
MAKR is a $1 billion venture fund investing in AI, quantum computing, industrial robotics, and the emerging technologies reshaping how physical infrastructure is designed, built, and operated.
Three integrated components operate as a single engine: MAKR Venture Fund deploys capital. MAKR Multiplier prepares portfolio companies for deployment. MAKR X, wholly fund-owned, is the direct pipeline to infrastructure at scale.
Most venture funds invest and hope. MAKR sources the deal, funds the company, and builds the deployment pathway. Every stage of the value chain is owned.
The next decade will not be won by individual AI tools. It will be won by funds that understand how to integrate, orchestrate, and deploy AI across real-world infrastructure environments.
"We are not riding the AI wave. We are building the infrastructure layer beneath it."
Traditional venture capital funds on one dimension. MAKR operates on four simultaneously — creating a structural advantage that compounds across the portfolio. *MAKR takes a board seat and actively engages in company governance across portfolio investments.
Four complementary mechanisms that reduce risk and create value across the portfolio. Alliance identifies. Velocity prepares. Multiplier aligns. MAKR X executes.
The four pillars are designed to complement one another — creating a seamless end-to-end ecosystem where portfolio companies are positioned to succeed commercially, technically, and strategically.
The connective tissue of the portfolio. Alliance drives cross-portfolio synergies, connects companies to external ecosystems and strategic partners, and identifies which portfolio companies are ready for which opportunities.
The engine that prepares portfolio companies for real-world deployment. Velocity builds integration layers, validates technical feasibility, and ensures interoperability across multi-company solutions.
The bridge between portfolio companies and mega infrastructure projects. Multiplier engages policy stakeholders, identifies and qualifies high-value opportunities, and ensures portfolio technologies meet the standards required for deployment at scale.
MAKR X is the technology orchestrator and commercial engine for smart projects. Wholly owned by the fund — not a GP-owned entity. MAKR X contracts directly with clients, deploys solutions prepared by the other three pillars, and captures the revenue.
MAKR X is wholly owned by the fund. In active discussions across $14.4 billion in projects spanning Europe, the Americas, the GCC, and Africa.
Note: The following is an illustrative example of how MAKR portfolio companies integrate across a smart infrastructure project. This scenario is identified and in progress — not a finalised deployment.
Four companies. One integrated stack. Deployable across every project in the pipeline. This is the model — not a pitch deck promise.
Every company fits the thesis and is built to add value across a range of smart infrastructure deployments. 70+ companies across 6 sectors and multiple technology layers.
Six focus areas aligned to AI and infrastructure convergence. AI integration drives premium exit multiples across all categories.
AI integration premium: Companies with AI-native architecture command 20–100% higher exit multiples across all sectors. MAKR's investment thesis targets AI-first companies in every focus area — not just AI Infrastructure.
*MAKR takes a board seat and actively engages in company governance across portfolio investments.
Four GPs — spanning fund management, commercial development, deal origination, and ecosystem building — brought together by shared conviction in the AI and capital convergence.

In active discussions with a major U.S. construction and construction management firm with more than 130 years of operating history.
This is the bridge between legacy infrastructure execution and AI-driven modernisation.
A 130-year-old construction firm bringing MAKR portfolio technologies into public infrastructure projects represents the exact deployment pathway MAKR was designed to create.
MAKR X positions portfolio companies as the intelligent systems layer — not a vendor, but a structural technology partner embedded in the delivery model.
In active discussions with a major LATAM investor positioned as lead investor, with direct proximity to large-scale modernisation corridors.
MAKR X is positioned as technology partner across this corridor — a structured pathway from capital commitment to deployment.
The LATAM corridor represents both capital and corridor — an investor relationship that simultaneously provides funding proximity and deployment access.
National governments across Central America are accelerating modernisation mandates. MAKR enters not as a vendor bidding on projects, but as a technology ecosystem already aligned to the capital.
In active discussions with major real estate developers and tourism project owners across the GCC. The GCC is designing cities and tourism hubs around intelligent systems from inception — the most ambitious urban development cycle globally.
GCC nations are not retrofitting existing cities — they are designing AI-native cities from inception. This is the single most concentrated deployment opportunity for MAKR portfolio companies globally.
MAKR's relationships with GCC real estate developers and project owners position the fund for the rebuilding and modernisation cycle that will follow the current regional disruption — a well-capitalised pipeline patient for the right moment.
In active discussions to serve as technology partner (MAKR X) to a professional football club in Italy.
Stadium environments are controlled, high-density, data-rich infrastructure platforms — live validation environments for MAKR portfolio technologies.
A single successful intelligent venue deployment creates a replicable model across European football, motorsport, and entertainment venues — a scalable pipeline from one partnership.
European sports infrastructure investment is accelerating post-2026 World Cup preparation cycle. MAKR enters at the point of maximum institutional attention.
National modernisation budgets are accelerating. AI infrastructure spending is compounding. The window for institutional capital to gain meaningful exposure to this convergence is open.
The question for institutional allocators is whether to gain exposure to this convergence — and through which vehicle. MAKR was purpose-built for exactly this moment.
