Investment thesis
Prequel Ventures invests in the technology stack running Europe's industrial economy, from AI-native supply chains to autonomous production systems. Active since 2020, it backs early-stage founders across the full value chain of physical products with the aim of making it more agile, resilient and sustainable. The firm organizes its focus around four theses: agentic supply chain intelligence (software that senses demand and coordinates suppliers), autonomous production and robotics, new industrial business models that create net-new revenue, and supply chain sovereignty and resilience infrastructure. It writes first checks with conviction and provides hands-on support through strong co-investor and industry networks.
