Lunar Ventures

Lunar Ventures is a Berlin-based deep-tech, seed-stage venture capital firm. Established to support groundbreaking technological advancements, the firm focuses on early-stage companies across Europe. With a team of three deep-tech expert partners, Lunar Ventures positions itself as a specialist investor for complex, science-backed innovations, aiming to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and market-ready products.

The firm's investment thesis centers on transformative technologies that address significant global challenges or create entirely new markets. Their portfolio interests span areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, new materials, biotechnology, robotics, and space technology. Lunar Ventures seeks out founders with strong technical expertise and ambitious visions, aiming to provide not just capital but also strategic guidance, operational support, and access to a specialized network of industry experts and scientific advisors.

Lunar Ventures typically invests at the seed stage, often being the first institutional investor. Their inaugural fund, Fund I, successfully closed at €30 million in 2022, demonstrating significant investor confidence in their specialized approach to deep tech. The firm's initial cheque sizes range from €500,000 to €1.5 million, with a strategy to reserve capital for follow-on rounds as their portfolio companies grow. This allows them to support startups through critical development phases, from proof-of-concept to market entry and scaling.
