“Tell me more about melkor”
Melkor Capital is a US-based investment firm (LinkedIn: Dover, 2–10 employees, organization dating from January 2026) focused on humanoid robotics, physical AI, embodied intelligence, defense technology and AI infrastructure. The evidence here covers 18 rows from three independent hosts — the firm's own site, LinkedIn profiles and Gritt — as of 29 October 2026. The six-company opportunity list and the SPV structure are stated on Melkor's own website and are not independently verified.
How the model works, as Melkor describes it
Hover any box for the source detail. Thesis and structure claims come from melkorcapital.xyz; Wayland (wayland.vc) is described on a team LinkedIn profile as the “platform for public entry into private offerings in physical AI, robotics and space”.
The firm claims a dedicated vehicle per deal — a US LLC as general partner with Delaware SPVs administered by Sydecar — and asserts, in its own words, “institutional-grade compliance”; no independent regulatory registration was found.

Only four team members are independently identifiable on LinkedIn — co-founder Vincent Amiel (France), COO Sarah M. (Paris), business development officer Mick K. (Tel Aviv) and Wayland CTO Tom Power (Dublin); the site otherwise names people by first name only.
