Funding Stages

Who we are

We are a VC fund backing Pre-Seed startups in Europe's Industrial Tech and Deep Tech space at hour zero. As engineers at heart and investors by choice, we have made over 50 investments in the last few years, ranging from €250k to €1.5m. Our portfolio is now worth more than €1 billion and has since raised funding from top-tier investors.

Funding Requirements

We invest in Deep Tech and Industrial Tech founders across Europe at the earliest point, often the first check, when there is more lab than traction. We primarily focus on Energy (e.g., next-gen renewables, grid, storage), Compute (e.g., AI acceleration, semiconductors, quantum, data center), and New Industrials (e.g., manufacturing, robotics, supply chain, industrial soft-/hardware). We also invest in Aerospace, TechBio, and AI infrastructure, often at the intersection of extreme technical defensibility and trillion-dollar industrial necessity.

Value add

As engineers, scientists, and operators, we work in the trenches with founders. We get the technology and our support shows up before founders have to ask for it: first key hires, GTM and first customers, fundraising and grants, brand, and warm access to an industrial network and and 100+ technical scouts across Europe.
