Over the years, Breega has successfully raised several funds, solidifying its position as a significant player in the European tech ecosystem and increasingly in the US.

They also reserve significant capital for follow-on investments, supporting their portfolio companies through subsequent funding rounds. This flexible investment approach allows them to back promising ventures across various growth phases.
