FOV Ventures Portfolio
Fund Investments and Prior Angel Portfolio
As a thematic-driven, specialist fund, FOV Ventures is 100% focused on investing in European founders building for the Metaverse and the new era of Spatial Computing. We believe this next era of more immersive, 3D software is a generational evolution of today’s Internet and compute, and a multi-trillion dollar opportunity. We like to build convinction early, at pre-seed and seed, investing initial cheques of up to €500k. Our founders are redefining the way we play, work and build — creating a new generation of billion dollar companies.
You can find more on our thesis here and a summary of our portfolio below.
