France & BeNeLux

In parts of the Netherlands, new businesses wait years for a grid connection. France is renovating millions of homes and planning a new generation of reactors. Both markets are under pressure to upgrade their physical world now, and founders here are building for just that.

The region also brings a deep engineering tradition, from French infrastructure groups to Dutch expertise in water and flood management. We back founders here at pre-seed and seed and connect them with LPs, customers and co-investors across DACH and the UK.
