Advanced Manufacturing Ventures

Where private capital, industrial innovation, and public purpose converge

THEOREM Partners works with institutional and strategic investors, together with government agencies, to identify, develop, and fund the next generation of domestic advanced manufacturing and infrastructure ventures.

Our mandate

We are not a traditional advisory firm. We originate. We advocate. We build — working at the intersection of private investment, corporate strategy, and government policy to bring transformative manufacturing ventures to life.

What we do

Five integrated capabilities

From early-stage R&D through full commercialization, we work with institutional and strategic partners to develop and fund transformative manufacturing ventures — structuring direct investments, joint ventures, and consortia to bring the right capital and resources together.

The imperative

Rebuilding domestic industrial capacity — one venture at a time

For two decades, domestic advanced manufacturing capacity migrated offshore in pursuit of lower costs. The consequences are now visible in every supply chain disruption, every semiconductor shortage, every dependency on foreign production for the technologies that underpin national security and economic competitiveness.

The reversal is underway. The CHIPS and Science Act. The Inflation Reduction Act. The Defense Production Act. Billions in DOE loan guarantees. A bipartisan consensus that domestic advanced manufacturing is a national priority. THEOREM was built to operate at the center of this transformation.

How we work

From thesis to production line

THEOREM’s model is built around proprietary origination — identifying critical gaps in domestic manufacturing capacity and developing the ventures needed to fill them, before mandates are issued or processes begin.

01 — Identify
Find the opportunity first

We track technology development, government program priorities, corporate strategy signals, and supply chain gaps to identify advanced manufacturing opportunities — developing the investment thesis and government funding strategy in parallel.

02 — Advocate
Build the policy foundation

We lobby government agencies and policymakers directly — building the policy and funding support that transforms a viable venture into a fundable one. The advocacy starts early, before formal applications.

03 — Structure
Assemble the venture

We design the legal and financial architecture: joint venture, NewCo, consortium, or project entity — aligning the capital stack and assembling the management team to execute.

04 — Build
Stay through production

We remain engaged through R&D, pilot production, scale-up, and full commercial operation. We are builders, not transaction advisors.
