Who we are

We are LEA Ventures, an independent early stage VC fund from Karlsruhe, investing since 2017. We back technical founders at pre seed and seed with first checks of EUR 1 to 3M, ideally as lead investor. Our portfolio includes Aleph Alpha, Black Forest Labs, Codesphere, Atlas Bio and Loki Robotics.

Funding Requirements

We invest in pre seed and seed startups in AI, machine learning, generative AI, robotics, computer vision, quantum computing, deep tech, biotech and B2B software, across Germany, Europe and the US. Based in Karlsruhe, we write checks of EUR 1 to 3M, ideally as lead investor, from funds of around EUR 70M each. Portfolio includes Aleph Alpha, Black Forest Labs, Codesphere, Atlas Bio and Loki Robotics.

Value add

We open doors to our network in southwest Germany, one of Europe’s strongest industrial regions, giving founders a fast path to first customers and pilots. We backed Aleph Alpha and Black Forest Labs from day one, so we know the earliest stage. We often lead as first institutional investor and support founders closely through their first rounds.
