Frequently Asked Questions
We operate across all areas within Physical AI, without any limiting fields: robotics, sensors, automation, smart devices, and generally any technology where AI governs or optimizes a physical system.
A venture studio is a partner that goes beyond mentoring or providing space—it builds startups together with founders. It invests resources, expertise, and networks, taking an active role in project development and often becoming an operational co-founder up to the go-to-market phase.
We evaluate each initiative on a case-by-case basis. Most often, we engage at the pre-seed or early-stage phase (proof-of-concept or first prototype), but we do not exclude more advanced projects if we can add significant value.
The equity percentage depends on the level of support we provide in terms of operational resources, capital and expertise. In most cases, our stake ranges between 10% and 25% of the startup’s capital.
e-Novia is strongly committed to bringing the idea to life and developing the business. Afterwards, companies continue independently or with the support of industrial partners.
We offer an internal multidisciplinary team, prototyping labs, access to investors and industrial partners, as well as legal, operational, and go-to-market support.
