Overview
Ventures.eu, Sociedade de Capital de Risco, S.A. is a Lisbon-based venture capital firm born out of Dealflow.eu, a pan-European platform set up in 2019 to turn European Commission innovation projects into scale-ups. Its CMVM-authorised Fund I writes first cheques of €250k–€500k at pre-seed, leads or co-leads seed rounds of up to €2M and joins Series A rounds, with a 40% follow-on reserve. Focus areas are deep tech and AI, climate and agri-tech, and ICT; 60% of the fund is allocated to Portugal and 40% to the rest of Europe. Its first Fund I investment was leading a £1M round in UK ship-chartering software company Spot Ship (January 2026).
Investment thesis
