IQ Capital is a dedicated European deep tech venture capital firm, built on the conviction that frontier technology will underpin the next generation of globally significant companies.

Investment approach

Thesis
Deep tech founders are advancing intelligence, reinventing energy, accelerating computation, decoding biology, and building resilience. They design products to disrupt industrial norms and improve how we live and work. There is no playbook – it requires extraordinary persistence, deep technical insight, and the vision to foresee and shape customer needs.Source (opens in a new tab)
