Dynamo Partners with GE Ventures

Six weeks in, and big things have already happened at Dynamo. We have already gathered an elite group of mentors in the tech, logistics, transportation and supply chain industries. We have already brought on the Godfather of European Accelerators as our Entrepreneur in Residence. And we have already made headlines in the Wall Street Journal.

But all that is just the beginning.

Today, Dynamo is proud to announce that we have partnered with GE Ventures.

GE Ventures, the Venture Capital arm of General Electric, offers unrivaled access to a global network of GE expertise, and now that network is a part of the Dynamo network.

GE Ventures partners and invests in the best ideas around the globe to advance the industries that shape our lives. They pride themselves in being more than just a capital partner. They provide world-class resources to help their teams build, grow and scale their enterprise.

“Supply chain and logistics are areas ripe for disruption. GE Ventures is excited to partner with Dynamo, an accelerator that is well-positioned to attract the best entrepreneurs with the most innovative ideas,” said Lisa Coca, Managing Director of Advanced Manufacturing & Enterprise Practice at GE Ventures. “We look forward to leveraging the accelerator to explore new technology and business models in pursuit of efficiencies across GE’s global supply chain.”

Their emphasis on providing valuable resources aligns perfectly with our take on the innovation program. We, too, firmly believe that success depends upon more than just capital.

“An accelerator’s success depends on the leadership and partnerships that support the teams. You can throw as much money as you want at them, but if a team lacks proper mentorship and guidance, you’re not being helpful to founders.,” said Jon Bradford, Entrepreneur in Residence at Dynamo. “With Dynamo and GE Ventures working together, our teams have hit the real jackpot.”

And it is because of these corresponding values, as well as our parallel focus on innovating major global industries, that our partnership just makes sense.

You combine the know-how and substantial community of GE Ventures with that of Dynamo, and you have an unstoppable force of logistics, transportation and supply chain innovation. Dynamo has always said that logistics is moving fast, but now that we have GE Ventures on board, fast just got even faster.
