Investment thesis

DEPO Ventures invests at the inception and pre-seed stage in European technology startups strengthening the continent's critical infrastructure. It targets companies addressing markets with over €100B potential, writing tickets of €250K-500K at valuations up to €7M. Focus sectors include defence, space, fintech, Industry 4.0, and energy, with geographic emphasis on Europe, the CEE region, and diaspora founders. Beyond capital, the firm offers hands-on support from zero to first scale, leverages a global late-stage VC network to help founders raise follow-on rounds, and provides access to senior industry experts through its venture partners. It grew out of the DEPO Angels investor community.
