About

A venture firm built from the mine up.

Orogenyx was founded by operators, not observers. Our team has built and run mines and evaluated technology at the mine site across multiple geographies and commodity cycles. That operational heritage shapes how we source, how we underwrite risk and how we support founders through commercialization.

Investment stage focus
01

Operator credibility

Three generations inside the mining business give us an operator's view of what miners will actually adopt, which shortens diligence.

02

Deep sourcing network

Over the past eight years, Prospect Innovation has brought together more than 1,200 founders, and our research team has sourced from at least 34 countries, giving us a continuous window into technology before it is raising.

03

Practitioner-led diligence

Every investment is stress-tested against real operating conditions, not theoretical performance.

04

We open doors

We introduce startups to operators and OEMs and help them reach a working site for pilots, where field-verified data is generated.
