Reilly P. Brennan is a co-founder and Partner at Trucks Venture Capital, where he has dedicated over a decade to funding entrepreneurs reshaping transportation after serving as Executive Director of Stanford’s automotive research program, Revs. His investment thesis targets early-stage companies in the seed and pre-seed stages across sectors including autonomous vehicles, electric aviation, EV infrastructure, and mobility data, with a geographic focus on transportation innovators globally. The firm typically issues checks ranging from $500,000 to $2 million and often seeks to acquire approximately 10% ownership, frequently acting as the lead investor by making the first check. Notable portfolio companies include Joby Aviation, Gatik, May Mobility, and nuTonomy, which was acquired by Delphi. Brennan distinguishes his approach through his influential newsletter “FoT” (Future of Transportation), which serves as a radar for transportation trends, and he bridges transportation, design, and entrepreneurship through a teaching appointment at Stanford University’s School of Engineering and d.school.
