MD One Ventures, founded in 2021, is Europe's first National Security and Dual-Use venture capital firm. The team combines deep VC experience across 12+ subsectors and 160+ historic transactions with operational expertise from Tier One Special Forces and Intelligence Communities. MD One invests in product-focused DeepTech businesses with strong commercial foundations that have the potential to advance European and Allied National Security capabilities — spanning software and hardware across NatSec, Enterprise, and Defence backgrounds, with no requirement for existing governmental track record. The firm focuses on companies founded in Europe and the UK (or with significant operational presence there), investing from Pre-Seed to Series A and seeking to make follow-on investments into subsequent rounds.
Notable quotes
“Success isn't measured by how quickly a company can scale at all costs, but by how sustainably it can deliver mission-critical capabilities without compromising quality, security, or oversight.”
“One should not conflate the level of VC investment with defence spending, in Europe or anywhere in the world. The question is not what, but how and why. A key ingredient in building global resilience is talent, and talent in Europe for deeptech and dual-use is without a doubt best-in-class globally.”
“I invest in Seed-Series A startups with dual use Defence and Commercial applications.”
