Investment thesis
FOV Ventures invests at the convergence of frontier technologies including robotics, physical AI and spatial computing, viewing the blending of digital and physical worlds as the next era of computing. It backs both vertical/industrial applications and infrastructure ('picks & shovels') plays. The firm targets the best technical talent across Europe, meeting founders as early as possible and funding from day zero, with the ability to lead pre-seed rounds or follow at seed. It writes initial checks of €100k to €1m and reserves capital for follow-on rounds. Led by ex-founders and operators with nearly a decade of domain experience, FOV emphasizes deep expertise, high-value introductions via its EDGE network, and hands-on, human-first founder support.
