Pre-seed VC investing in early-stage Deep Tech companies.
We back European science founders in energy, materials and industrial automation at pre-seed, and help them win the grants and funded pilots that take them further on less dilution.
Equity, grants and industrial partners: more runway for every euro of dilution.
€250K first cheque
We invest around €250K at pre-seed to build your product, team and first proof points.
Grants, won in-house
Our public-funding team has won 30+ grants with our portfolio and platform. Non-dilutive money funds R&D and pilots, so you raise your next round later and on stronger numbers.
Funded pilots
Through 40+ partners in EU R&D consortia, we bring founders into funded projects alongside industrial companies that can become their first customers.
What we look for
We back founders who:
Are at pre-seed, often building on university or industrial research
Work in energy systems, materials or industrial automation
Have a credible path to a first industrial customer
