<We Are Die-Hards For Hard Stuff/>
We are a Community-Driven VC firm backing Deeptech founders from Europe at pre-seed and seed.
Before the fund even started we built a community of 15,000+ deeptech founders and engineers through our meetup events, dinners, and demo days featuring winners now worth over £7 Billion.
We spot fundamental Computing, Defence and Energy companies led by contrarian scientists and engineers.
