TDK Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Japanese electronics parts producer TDK, has added three team members to its London group.
Marc Bouchet (pictured left), who was promoted last week to senior investment associate, is among the new Europe-based members, as are investment director David Delfassy (pictured centre) and investment analyst Sam Hill (pictured right).
Formed in 2019, TDK Ventures focuses on materials science, energy and power technology developers. The unit opened its London office in June last year alongside the launch of a $150m multi-LP energy transition fund called Fund EX1. It also operates in California, Boston, Tokyo and Bengaluru.
Bouchet will help invest in digital and energy transformation opportunities through TDK Ventures Fund 2. Previously, he was based in the unit’s California headquarters, where he backed energy, climate and industrial startups.
