Many corporate investors and smart money VCs have placed significant bets on the Internet of Things industry, which is expected to see nearly $2B in funding through the end of 2015… Intel Capital tops the list as the most active investor in IoT startups, followed by Qualcomm Ventures.

Foundry Group has made multiple bets on IoT-related hardware investments: Fitbit, LittleBits, and MakerBot.
