Amsterdam-based CapitalT, the early-stage VC firm known for its data-driven approach and focus on ClimateTech and the Future of Work, announced the first close of Fund II, targeting €50 million.
This first close is backed by a mix of existing investors from CapitalT’s first fund and new limited partners who share the firm’s commitment to driving meaningful innovation.
“We founded CapitalT to prove that combining data, empathy, and conviction creates outlier results,” says Eva de Mol, Founding Partner. “This close shows that our model resonates with Founders and investors who believe that technology can drive positive change.”
Founded in 2020, CapitalT is a (pre)-Seed VC firm with a focus on human-centric investments. Employing a data-driven approach, CapitalT identifies and supports the most promising teams and invests in software technology companies with a primary focus on ClimateTech and the Future of Work.
CapitalT says they are committed to driving innovation and making a positive impact on the world.
Since its inception, the firm has invested in over 30 companies, including TestGorilla, a talent assessment platform reshaping hiring; Vaayu, an automated software solution to track and reduce carbon emissions in retail; and Overstory, which uses AI to monitor vegetation and prevent wildfires.
Fund II aims to support purpose-driven Founders building scalable solutions to urgent challenges, from decarbonisation to the transformation of work.
According to CapitalT, Fund I ranks among the top-performing early-stage funds in Europe.
Janneke Niessen, Founding Partner , adds: “We see tremendous untapped entrepreneurial talent across Europe. With Fund II, we scale our support for Founders solving real-world problems – and help them build companies that matter.”
With Fund II, CapitalT says they are doubling down on backing exceptional teams from the very beginning and leveraging AI to stay at the forefront of venture investing. Over the past two years, the firm has increasingly integrated AI into its own workflows to empower its lean team, automate processes where it makes sense, and remain fast, focused, and Founder-first.
To support this next chapter, CapitalT is expanding its team, welcoming Daphne Dovermann and Nina Donker as new team members.
