Investment thesis
Allusion backs the foundational, often invisible layer that networks and AI run on. It finances and deploys general-purpose server and GPU infrastructure in top-tier data centers, operates Internet Computer nodes, and runs an operating brand (Aviate Labs) for node monitoring and reliability tooling. Allusion Ventures invests in early-stage founders re-architecting foundational systems in digital infrastructure, health tech and energy, writing first cheques of €50k–€400k with follow-ons up to €5M at pre-seed and seed stages. It is Europe-first but globally curious, and stays closely involved with its founders. It also supports cooperative and community ventures beyond purely financial motives.
