Alex Motey brings a distinct blend of entrepreneurial execution and rigorous financial analysis to Augment Ventures. As a cleantech founder and strategic finance operator, he excels at navigating the intersection of technical risk and commercial scalability for early-stage ventures in foundational industries.

His perspective as an investor starts with building. As Co-founder and CEO of Nataqua, a modular electrochemical conversion venture, Alex led a cross-functional team from zero to one.

Having built inside a foundational industry, Alex evaluates the deep tech and software reshaping those sectors from the operator’s side of the table, judging not just the technology but whether it fits how the industry actually buys, works, and scales.

Before his operating roles, Alex was an Investment Analyst at Parabellum Acquisition Corporation, where he sourced industrial-IoT targets. Earlier, he held Senior Financial Analyst roles in corporate finance.

Alex is an MBA candidate at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Tulane University, where he served as an Equity Research Analyst, and published fundamental research on global telecommunications.
