Assuming this post is for real...

"Funding technology". To understand this, we first break the phrase down into the two English words that comprise it:

Investors fund technology in many ways. Venture capitalists provide business-building advice and injections of capital, in exchange for ownership in the future, should the technology become a viable, profitable business.

Private equity firms often buy out companies that build technology, and once they have acquired the entity, give the firm money to grow.
