Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
Pitchdrive is an operator-led pre-seed and seed VC backing Europe's boldest founders — built by people who've already sat in the founder's chair. The fund is 100% entrepreneur-backed (all LPs are entrepreneurs and family offices) and deploys a 'Co-founder Capital' model: investing at first cheque with tickets of €250K–€3M, providing 24/7 hands-on support from experienced entrepreneurs, and surrounding portfolio companies with an elite mentor network of exited founders. The firm is industry-agnostic at the early stage, with a focus on B2B tech, consumer, marketplaces, and software-defined hardware, and for Fund IV specifically targets AI-native founders in Europe and beyond who are rebuilding their industries with conviction.
Notable quotes
“We received over €85 million in subscription requests against an initial target of €50 million, leaving the fund more than 70% oversubscribed. Rather than expand to absorb the excess demand, we capped at €60 million and scaled back commitments across the board.”
“What we see is that the capital is mainly going to tokens rather than people. Small teams that are very compact, with a huge power to grow, but the importance of how founders look into it, the energy, the vision, the creativity to bring things together, and having the possibility to cope with the change, because it's going so fast.”
“Pitchdrive just raised €40M (Fund III) for 30 new startup investments in Europe — it was heavily oversubscribed and that in less than 2 months — a huge thanks to my founding partners, all our investors and our existing +50 startups who are conquering the world.”
