We are Material Ventures.

We invest in European startups—from Pre-Seed to Series A—because we believe Europe presents an outsized opportunity to start, develop and scale the next generation of global tech companies

We back strong founders with a Silicon Valley mindset building global businesses. We invest across sectors but tend to focus on consumer, fintech and climate. And we are happy to back first-time founders with proven expertise in their chosen field.

Drawing on our US-centric network of LPs, investors and advisors, we create differentiated value for our portfolio companies by bringing Europe to Silicon Valley. We support startups as they look to the US for fundraising, partnerships and market entry.
