468 Capital invests in founder-led technology companies that strive to define their category, with a dual headquarters in Berlin and San Francisco from day one. With experience in building and IPOing some of Europe's biggest tech firms, the team specializes in spotting trends before they break, prides itself on being the first to invest, and backs startups for the long term across four core sectors: AI & Automation, Infrastructure & Enterprise Software, Energy Transition & Climate, and Prosumer & Consumer. The firm's name — 468 — refers to the number of weeks in nine years, symbolizing the typical journey from startup inception to a significant liquidity event such as an IPO or acquisition. 468 Capital's team of ex-founders and operators invests across rounds from pre-seed through Series B, with a particular emphasis on deep tech, MLOps, open-source software commercialization, developer tooling, cybersecurity, battery technologies, and scalable consumer and marketplace businesses across Europe and the US.
