Who we are

Critical Ventures is a VC that invests Worldwide in game-changing software companies with the power to transform the way the world uses technology in the areas of IoT, Automatisation and Digitalisation, Cyber Security, AI/ML / Decentralised Tech, UxD / Interfaces, Mobility and Medical Software.

Funding Requirements

We invest in IoT, Web3, fintech, AI, ML, DevOps, Blockchain... from seed to series B

Value add

We know that building disruptive tech companies takes more than just capital. As tech entrepreneurs ourselves, we work side by side with the companies we invest in, backing them with funding, time and real expertise.

We believe that technology is nothing without the passion of talented people bringing it to life. That’s why we’re dedicated to working with entrepreneurs and startups who share ourculture and values. In return, we help to nurture the companies we invest in and grow them organically, in their own time – avoiding round after round of funding.

For us, investing isn’t just our business. It’s the chance to make a difference and create something big.

What we’re looking for:
- Seed and early-stage investments
- Technology and software companies
- Disruptive or transformative technologies
- Cultural fit with the Critical ecosystem
- Passionate and dedicated teams
