Hypertherm Introduces New Corporate Venture Capital Arm

Hypertherm Inc. (Hanover, NH) has formed Hypertherm Ventures, a new corporate venture capital (CVC) arm, to foster greater interaction with the technology venture community. Encompassed by a goal of helping advanced manufacturing deliver positive change to the world, Hypertherm Ventures is seeking partnerships with universities, startups, entrepreneurs, and early stage companies to commercialize advanced manufacturing technology in strategic interest areas. Those areas include industrial cutting, welding, and thermal processing; robotics and automation; machine learning and augmented intelligence; Industrial Internet of Things; additive manufacturing / 3D printing, and nanotechnology.

“Just as we began 50 years ago with an invention that made plasma cutting commercially viable for the first time ever, we look forward to supporting other entrepreneurs as they work to bring their inventions to life,” said Nathan Pascarella, the business development manager of Hypertherm Ventures. “If you are an entrepreneur or leading an early stage company in advanced manufacturing within our strategic interest areas, we would love to hear more about you and your business.”

Hypertherm believes their experienced leadership team, combined with a wide range of advanced manufacturing process experts proficient in lean, Six-Sigma, and similar methodologies will benefit entrepreneurs and early stage companies.
