ABOUT VENTURES.EU
Ventures.eu is a Lisbon-based deep tech and AI venture capital fund launched in 2025 and born out of Dealflow.eu. Its €30M Fund I invests €250K–€2M at Seed and pre-Series A, with 60% of capital allocated to Portuguese startups and the remainder deployed across Europe. Ventures.eu concentrates on deep tech and AI companies, positioning the majority of its fund behind Portugal's emerging technical founders while retaining flexibility for pan-European deals. The firm is led by Founder and General Partner Thijs Povel alongside General Partner Fernando Ferreira, who bring the Dealflow.eu network into the fund's sourcing and support model. As a newly launched vehicle, Ventures.eu offers first institutional cheques to seed-stage deep tech and AI teams, with a deliberate Portugal-first allocation backed by European reach.
