3VC is a European venture capital fund that invests in carefully selected tech startups with global ambition, starting from Series A. The firm partners with teams with a presence in DACH, CEE, and the Baltics that want to succeed globally, investing in rounds ranging €2–20M with an initial ticket size up to €10M. 3VC is highly selective, backing only 3–4 companies per year, and looks for teams committed to solving significant global challenges through software — regardless of industry or business model — that demonstrate product-market fit and clear signs of growth potential. Built on the belief that less is more, 3VC combines a founder-first 'by founders for founders' approach with a world-leading co-investor network to provide proactive, hands-on support throughout the entire company-building journey.
Notable quotes
“After founding 5 companies with 3 exits, 1 write-off and 1 IPO, my role at 3VC taught me two things: 1. Founder DNA is really handy when you embark on building a venture fund. In many ways 3VC feels more like start-up #6 than like fund #1. 2. Our focus on just a few deals a year is golden: it allows us to really work with our portfolio founders and make sure they won't repeat all the mistakes I made and benefit from our team's experience and skills.”
“As AI and automation fast-track the tech landscape, operational excellence and team alignment are what keep companies grounded and growing.”
“I want to sharpen my focus and contribute where I can have the most impact: post-product-market fit. The region's technical talent is exceptional. What founders here need most is operational depth alongside capital — people who've been in the trenches, not just at the cap table.”
