Adara Ventures

Adara Ventures backs best-in-class early-stage European founders targeting global B2B markets, with a targeted focus on Cybersecurity, Energy Transition, Data & AI, Digital Health, Components, and Digital Infrastructure. The firm partners with teams that have found their purpose, proven their product, and are ready to go-to-market fast — enabling visionary founders to build global technology leaders. Founded in 2005 and managing over €350M in assets across multiple funds (including its flagship AV4 and the thematic Adara Ventures Energy Fund), Adara invests primarily at Seed and Series A in deep tech companies across Western Europe. The firm's philosophy centres on maximising 'Dragons' — companies that return the entire fund — and has achieved at least one Dragon per fund generation, with notable exits including AlienVault (acquired by AT&T), PlayGiga (acquired by Meta/Facebook), and Seedtag (acquired by Advent International).
