Investing in
essential
transitions
From pre-seed to Series A and beyond, we invest in deeptech ventures that reduce Europe's critical dependencies and build an economy that fits within planetary boundaries.
From pre-seed to Series A and beyond, we invest in deeptech ventures that reduce Europe's critical dependencies and build an economy that fits within planetary boundaries.
We look for founders who deeply master their field, defend a realistic technical approach, and have the stamina to carry their venture over the long term. What matters most to us: the power to transform an entire industry, and the market pull of the great challenges of our time.
We invest at pre-seed and seed stage in ventures that, through the originality of their model or the breakthrough nature of their technology, can materially transform entire industries.
Our compass is material realism. In a world where software execution has become almost free, the real barrier to entry is what it has always been in industry: proprietary technology, patents and industrial mastery. We back solutions tested against infrastructural, industrial and resource realities, that durably strengthen Europe's productive capacity rather than chasing regulatory targets alone.
We invest only in ventures compatible with the rule of law and open societies. We do not back weapons; cybersecurity and the technologies that protect people and critical infrastructure are fully within our scope.
55% of the deals we review come from our community of 900 operating investors. Direct applications are welcome, but the strongest opportunities reach us through the network.
We bring 5 to 10 expert business angels into every due diligence, surfacing the technical and market blind spots a fund acting alone would miss, at no extra cost.
Once we invest, an Asterion partner joins the board and we deploy a structured platform: strategy, recruitment, sales, governance, financials. Over 200 commercial introductions in the past year, 94% founder satisfaction.
Generation, storage, grids and solutions answering the twin pressure of European decarbonization and the surge in energy demand driven by AI infrastructure.
Decarbonizing industrial processes, industrial efficiency, critical materials and European competitiveness.
Technologies decarbonizing agricultural and food systems.
Digital solutions where AI sharply lowers the cost of adoption for industrials and institutions, accelerating the spread of the transitions across the real economy.
