Investment thesis
Expeditions backs early-stage startups at the intersection of security and deep technology, with a focus on Europe. Founded by researchers and pioneers in the future of warfare and defence, the firm argues that Europe faces mounting threats — war on its borders, energy dependency, technology gaps, cyberattacks, disinformation and drone warfare — that demand urgency. It believes closer civil-military collaboration can spark a new industrial renaissance, fusing Europe's defence needs with its talent and entrepreneurial energy. Expeditions aims to break down institutional resistance and drive policy changes so exceptional European founders can build the architecture of Europe's security and restore its economic and strategic power.
