With two decades of technology investing experience and strong ties to Silicon Valley, Grant brings deep expertise in scaling emerging technologies across energy transition, applied AI, and industrial automation—capabilities that will be instrumental in advancing I Squared’s InfraTech ® platform.

InfraTech ® is I Squared’s proprietary venture strategy targeting growth-stage companies that transform core infrastructure. The platform focuses on technologies at the intersection of physical and digital—such as AI-enabled energy optimization, robotics for logistics, and intelligent inspection systems—enhancing the resilience, efficiency, and productivity of real assets.

“We are operating at the intersection of seismic technological disruption—led by AI—and an infrastructure super-cycle driven by macroeconomic complexity,” said Gautam Bhandari, Global Chief Investment Officer and Managing Partner at I Squared Capital. “Grant brings a rare blend of venture discipline and infrastructure technology experience, precisely what is needed to capture today’s opportunities in global infrastructure reinvention. His track record in identifying and scaling category-defining platforms will significantly strengthen our InfraTech ® strategy.”

Grant most recently served as a Venture Partner at Giant Ventures, focusing on climate, deep tech, and physical AI. Previously, he was a founding General Partner of SE Ventures, a $1 billion growth fund created with Schneider Electric, and CEO of ABB Ventures, the corporate VC arm of ABB, where he led investments in advanced robotics, industrial IoT, cybersecurity, and power systems.

He began his career at Core Capital Partners, a $400 million enterprise software fund, and later founded Keybridge Venture Partners, which now counts more than 50 investments including Antora, Carta, Dexterity, juna.ai, OpenAI, and Wagestream.

Grant holds a civil and environmental engineering degree from Duke University and an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
