Angel Invest, a VC firm based in Berlin, today announced the final close of its Fund III in addition to new venture partners and advisors. The €40 million fund closed above target and will continue Angel Invest’s strategy of investing at angel, pre-Seed, and Seed stages.
The firm has backed more than 110 companies from Fund III to date. Recent investments include Peec AI, Originator, Sapiom, Fonio, INXM, Mav9, Huzzle, Seapoint, Daisytuner, AskVinny, and Feld Energy.
“The team we are announcing today reflects where we are taking the firm: venture partners who have founded and exited companies, and advisors including a Forbes Midas List investor who backed some of Europe’s biggest breakouts. Our ambitions go beyond the first check. Angel Invest is more than an angel fund,” said Jens Lapinski, Founding Partner of Angel Invest.
Angel Invest’s announcement comes amid other, recent fund announcements.
This week, Antwerp-based Pitchdrive closed its €60 million Fund IV to back AI-native early-stage startups across Europe. Fellow Berlin-based firm Merantix Capital closed a €103 million AI Fund, which will invest in early-stage, AI-native companies while Creator Fund, based in Kensington, UK, closed its first European fund at €48.8 million to back Europe’s scientific founders at pre-Seed stage.
Across more than 250 portfolio companies, Angel Invest’s say their early investments have attracted leading global investors and delivered exits.
Portfolio companies include Augustus (formerly known as Ivy), which scaled to a Series B led by Valar Ventures alongside Creandum; Taktile, backed by Index Ventures and Tiger Global; Rasa, backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Accel, and PayPal Ventures; Spacelift, backed by Insight Partners; and Peec AI, backed by 20VC and Singular.
Regarding the hire of new venture partners and advisors, Jag Singh, Managing Partner of Angel Invest adds: “Nazanin Daneshvar joined us from EQT Ventures after founding and scaling one of the Middle East’s largest startups to hundreds of employees. Connor Murphy, founder of Brdg and a former Managing Director at Techstars, joins as a venture partner,
Both made early investments with us that top-tier VC funds have since followed into. And both spend hundreds of hours a year coaching the founders they invest in.”
