Motorola Solutions Venture Capital

Motorola Solutions Venture Capital (Motorola Ventures) is the global strategic investment arm of Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI), founded in 1999 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The fund invests in startups that transform safety, security, and mission-critical communications — closely aligned with Motorola Solutions' focus on public-safety and enterprise-security customers. Core sectors include cybersecurity, IoT, data analytics, mobile intelligence applications, identity, and authentication. First-check sizes range from $1 million to $10 million across seed through Series B stages, with investments primarily in the United States, Israel, and Canada. Motorola Ventures has a portfolio of 19 companies, with five acquisitions completed to date. Notable investments include Mojo Vision, Pellion Technologies, and BRINC, which develops drone hardware for public-safety applications and received its most recent investment in April 2025. Nok Nok Labs, an identity and authentication company, was acquired by OneSpan in June 2025. The firm also co-led a $2.6 million round in Retailigence in an earlier investment. The small team of approximately two investment professionals — one partner and one principal — maintains a focused pace of deal-making aligned with the parent company's strategic priorities rather than capital-return timelines. As a corporate vehicle, Motorola Ventures invests to accelerate strategic access to new technologies for its parent rather than to maximize financial returns in isolation. Portfolio companies gain access to Motorola Solutions' global public-safety customer network, product integration roadmaps, and the enterprise distribution channels that serve law enforcement, emergency response, and critical-infrastructure operators worldwide.
