Investment thesis
Markovian invests in European deeptech companies at the intersection of scientific IP, early commercial proof and strong founders. It targets IP-heavy startups with European operations, credible early commercial signals and a path to global relevance, concentrating on the Oxford, Cambridge and Munich ecosystems. Focus areas include biology turned into engineering (protein synthesis, therapeutics infrastructure, phage platforms, screening systems), technical software (AI tooling, verification, scientific automation), and hard technology (hardware, EDA, semiconductor tooling, robotics, infrastructure). The firm operates with a long-horizon, concentrated, compounding approach, deploying small high-conviction tickets and co-investing with trusted backers rather than acting like a large institutional fund.
