About Us

This European DeepTech supercycle follows new rules. AI changes everything — the steepest value creation has shifted to the earliest stages. Yet legacy VCs still rely on SaaS playbooks that don’t fit DeepTech and avoid pre-seed. Groupthink leaves breakthroughs unfunded.

We exist to spot them early and translate their potential into companies that leave a dent in the universe.

Vanagon is a (pre-)seed fund based in Munich: Europe’s DeepTech hub. We are purpose-built for sovereign-edge technology in Industrial, Nature, and Digital Infrastructure to seize the €3T DeepTech opportunity in Europe. We are partners from day one, writing cheques of up to €500k to fuel the journey to Series-A and beyond. Our founders know the edge we bring.

Portfolio

DeepTech. Decoded. Pre-Seed. Supercharged.

A resilient and sustainable Europe is our most pressing challenge. Technology will make us move faster.
