Venna It has been operating for several years a few kilometers east of brands such as Ferrari, Pagani and Brembo. The brand was founded at the time by Marko Ukotaan enthusiastic supermoto rider and Jure Tomažič and Črt Goruptwo award-winning NASA engineers. They then joined forces with the common goal of designing and developing the most radical technology in electric vehicles.
The birth of Venna and a clear mission
Initially Ukota and his colleagues joined together to form Flux Performance with the aim of promoting cutting-edge technology in electric vehicles and they got to work to build the machines of their dreams. In 2025, the Flux team signed two industry veterans, César Ferreira and Marc Fenigsteinboth with a vision very similar to that of the company’s founders.
Ferreira is a lifelong motorcycle builder, engineer and former senior executive at Stark Future, a current leader in the electric motorcycle sector. Fenigstein was co-founder and CEO of Alta Motors, the pioneering motorcycle company that created the first fully engineered and competitive off-road electric motorcycle in 2014.
The team combined the best lessons learned from previous projects with ideas for the future, celebrated the positive evolution of the project and moved Venna’s headquarters to Los Angeles, California, the beating heart of global motorcycle culture. Now it has just closed a financing round with several leading international companies.
Venna and BMW Motorrad will work on new electric off-road solutions
Venna has just announced a collaboration agreement with Allegis Capital, BMW Group and NVision Ventures. This investment brings together the power of American capital, the experience of a giant in the automotive industry and the agility of a venture capital fund with experience in the sector, such as Rimac, the successful manufacturer of electric hypercars. Markus FlaschCEO of BMW Motorrad, commented:
“We share Venna’s passion for performance, innovative ideas and cutting-edge engineering. With our investment, we want to explore new opportunities in electric off-road motorcycling and gain new perspectives on technologies and riders. It is precisely this entrepreneurial spirit that can drive our industry forward.”
For his part, Ukota explained: “We didn’t found this company because the world needed another electric motorcycle. We founded it because we wanted to build the highest performing motorcycles on the planet. The support of Allegis and BMW confirms that we are doing things very well”. As part of this alliance, both companies will pool their experience in specific areas.
Venna will retain its independence and pace of innovation, while benefiting from BMW Motorrad’s industrial experience and global know-how. Likewise, the German company reinforces its commitment to future technologies and electric off-road mobility. Flasch concludes after the agreement between both companies becomes official:
“BMW Motorrad represents innovation, performance and the courage to explore new paths. With Venna, we have found a partner who shares our passion for technical excellence and exceptional riding experiences. This alliance opens up opportunities for us in a new segment and helps us inspire new audiences with the fascination of motorcycling.”
Marko Ukota ends by stating: “At Venna, our ambition is to build high-performance electric motorcycles for all riding categories, opening up new possibilities and reaching new levels for our riders. BMW Motorrad’s investment is a great endorsement of our passion and technological approach. This alliance enhances our ability to deliver advanced technology, reliable industrialization and do so quickly.”
