Capital
Technical capital
for serious systems.
We write focused checks and partner deeply with teams building embedded systems and cloud platforms.
Capital profile
This is concentrated, founder-aligned capital. CEC commits where there is a clear systems problem and a team that cares about engineering depth.
Check size
$25k – $150k per company
Stage
Pre-seed, seed, and occasionally earlier growth rounds.
Focus
Embedded systems, connectivity, field deployments, cloud infrastructure, and adjacent tooling.
Beyond the check.
The real value is in the engineering and operational help. We plug into the parts of the stack where small decisions compound: architecture, reliability, and deployment.
Technical excellence
Reviewing architectures, designing protocols, and providing second opinions on critical systems.
Operationalization
Turning prototypes into products: deployment plans, observability, and on-call runbooks.
Talent & partners
Connecting you with our global network of hardware, firmware, and cloud specialists.
How we engage
CEC usually joins as a smaller, technical check. The goal is to be the most useful engineer on the cap table.
Engagements range from high-impact sessions to deeper involvement during major launches or deployments.
Typical contributions
- Architecture and design reviews
- Deployment and rollout planning
- Hiring support for senior technical roles
- Connecting with trusted partners
