February 04, 2025
Welcome to Viewpoints, news and investment activity covering the next generation of computing - brought to you by FOV Ventures.
This Month:
6 transformative shifts shaping the future of spatial computing in 2025.
Get ready for GDC with our exclusive US Expansion and Fundraising AMA.
More portfolio success: partnerships and product launches.
We’re celebrating 3 years of FOV Ventures - and unveiling a new look.
Technology evolves rapidly, and so does the language we use to describe it. While our investment thesis remains unchanged, the terms "metaverse," "spatial intelligence," and "computing" have shifted in meaning and scope.
Today, we're excited to announce our rebrand, a reflection of our expanding vision for the future of computing.
Our focus remains clear: we invest in the next era of computing.
The mobile era put powerful machines in our pockets - the next era will integrate computing seamlessly into the world around us. Technology will become more intelligent, more intuitive, and ultimately, more human, liberated from the constraints of screens and devices.
This new coat of paint is about embracing the full spectrum of opportunities emerging at the convergence of AI, spatial intelligence, and computing - creating unprecedented possibilities for transforming how we live, work, and interact.
What hasn't changed?
We remain Europe's go-to fund for ambitious founders building the next era of computing.
Our conviction in this being the next wave of billion-dollar companies is stronger than ever.
Backed by the same expertise, conviction, and global networks we've always used to find and support founders from day zero.
If you're investing or building at the intersection of Spatial, AI, 3D, and Robotics, as ever we want to hear from you.

Six Shifts Shaping 2025
2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for spatial computing. We've identified six key themes that signal the accelerating convergence of our digital and physical worlds.
Will humanoid robots step out of factories and into our daily lives? Could smart glasses become AI's most natural interface? And what exactly is "Physical AI"?
Our latest blog post explores these emerging opportunities and see where we're placing our bets for 2025.
