Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
EQT Ventures partners with founders building Generation-Defining Companies (GDCs) — those who dream big and aim to shape the next decade. With €1.1 billion deployed across the EQT Ventures strategy, the firm acts as early-stage lead investor, operational advisor, and high-conviction capital provider, with the stated goal of being 'the most impactful partner for the founders we team up with.' The team is composed of ex-founders and operators and leverages the global EQT platform to help portfolio companies scale fast and build long-term resilience. The firm is sector-agnostic but has deep conviction in climate tech, fintech, AI/ML, deep tech, software, data & IT infrastructure, food tech, and the creator economy. It employs a proprietary AI platform called Motherbrain — monitoring over 10 million companies — to drive data-informed sourcing and due diligence. EQT Ventures III, the firm's latest €1.1 billion fund (closed November 2022), invests €2–50 million per deal in European and North American early-stage tech startups, building ownership through follow-ons.
