Investment thesis
Vsquared Ventures pursues opportunities in deep technology where others perceive only technological risk. The firm positions itself around 'engineering the impossible', building investment convictions based on fundamental technology rather than market trends. Its funds (Vsquared Ventures I and II) are supported by InnovFin Equity with backing from the European Union under Horizon 2020 Financial Instruments and the European Fund for Strategic Investments, reflecting a European deep tech focus.
