Technology Investors

Like most technology sectors, AM/3DP has had its ups and downs. As Gartner puts it, from the peak of inflated expectation to the trough of disillusionment. As the AM/3DP market has grown and matured, knowing when to invest or divest in AM/3DP assets and equities has never been more challenging. Of course, many macro-economic factors influence the market volatility of AM/3DP technology vendors. These factors are the preserve of analysts and economists the world over. However, several industry-specific factors also impact the financial performance and stability of AM/3DP technology vendors. At Reeves Insight, we take a very close interest in the dynamics of the AM/3DP sector.

We monitor the performance and product portfolio of established players along with the emerging offerings from challengers and disruptors. We follow the technologies, the people, and the customers. For the last 15-years, I have been advising investors on all aspects of the AM/3DP economy. I have supported venture capital teams and European Family Offices supporting innovative start-ups and investment banks and institutional investors looking to take equity stakes in traded AM/3DP stocks. In many cases, I find my self advising the advisor, providing specialized domain insight to more generic investment advisory firms along with government agencies looking to invest in AM/3DP related ventures.

Venture Capital and Family Offices

Over the last 20-years hundred of millions of dollars have been invested in AM/3DP ventures. Some of these ventures have gone on to become highly profitable businesses, others were acquired, and some have gone to IPO. However, many have fallen by the wayside.

Having been immersed in AM/3DP for over 25-years, Dr. Reeves has a unique perspective on all aspects of the AM/3DP sector. From the needs of end-users to the technology portfolio of established vendors. From the service offer of early-stage start-ups to the future impact of government-funded R&D initiatives. This insight has proved invaluable to venture capital teams and family offices around the world.

Phil has supported many venture capital partnerships in their due diligence and negotiation with prospective investment prospects, along with supporting the venture teams in several global organizations, helping them to identify strategic portfolio investments.

Phil is always happy to speak with investors who want an expert opinion on an investment opportunity or want to undertake a higher level of technical due diligence.

Government agencies and the public sector

AM/3DP is a critical component in Industry 4.0, and as such should be considered within both government policy and investment strategy. However, making the right investment decisions for government agencies and the public sector is vital to ensure the highest possible return of taxpayers’ money.

For over 15-years, Phil Reeves has been supporting government agencies and public sector bodies to understand the AM/3DP ecosystem better. Phil helps organisations to understand the needs of both technology users and aspirant technology, software and materials vendors. Working directly for public bodies and agencies, Phil has designed and managed small business support programs centred on AM/3DP adoption. Phil has also worked with public sector bodies responsible for capital investment grants and loans, R&D project grants, intellectual property, standards development and defence, helping them to understand the implications of AM/3DP in the broader context.

Phil is happy to support government agencies and public sector bodies across both Europe and North America. Phil Reeves has high-level UK government clearance.
