Ready for the next-generation spectral sensors? We squeezed a full near-infrared spectrometer in a single chip. We use light to understand the chemical composition of materials. MantiSpectra, a vertically-integrated spin-off of the Eindhoven University of Technology, is bringing to the market these miniaturized spectral sensors. These sensors will be employed directly where needed: on the field by farmers, in the process line on conveyor belts, along the full production chain, at the point-of-care, for recycling.

Building deep tech companies is a craft. We believe building deep-tech companies entails creatively joining disparate disciplines, capabilities, and skills. When put together correctly, the elements form a strong foundation and valuable company. The process is much like crafting a mortise & tenon joint. This synthesis is where we excel. Tenon Ventures is the experienced craftsmen. By leveraging our proven history as both founders and advisors, were launching a venture fund committed to crafting the next generation of deep tech ideas into companies.
