Berlin-based venture capital firm seed+speed Ventures has closed its third fund at €90 million, tripling its original €30 million target after the hard cap was increased twice with investor approval.
- seed+speed Ventures is a early-stage venture capital firm focused on backing pre-seed and seed-stage B2B software startups. Founded in 2016, the firm primarily invests in companies across Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, targeting scalable enterprise and SaaS business models. It typically participates as a lead or co-investor and can commit up to €5 million per company over the course of its involvement.
- The firm pursues a hands-on investment strategy, working closely with founders to build sales-led go-to-market structures and establish repeatable revenue processes early on. Its portfolio includes more than 50 B2B software companies spanning areas such as compliance, industrial technology, and enterprise software, reflecting a focus on operational execution and sustainable growth.
- With the closing of its €90 million Fund III, seed+speed is expanding its investment scope to European B2B and enterprise software startups developing AI-driven solutions that improve security, compliance, and productivity in business environments. The fund will invest at the earliest stages and provide follow-on capital alongside active support to help portfolio companies scale internationally.
- Since launching Fund III, seed+speed has invested in 13 startups, including Orq.ai, RIIICO, Optimuse, and Eleven Dynamics, spanning AI, industrial software, and enterprise technology across Europe.
"In a challenging market environment, this milestone is a strong signal of confidence in our team and the Central European B2B tech ecosystem. We are especially honored to have seven successful startup founders, most of them from our previous funds, join us as LPs, adding invaluable entrepreneurial perspectives to this new fund," seed+speed Ventures' team, commented on LinkedIn.
- Fund III is supported by a broad investor base, including institutional investors, media groups, family offices, industrial holdings, professionals from the legal and tax sectors, real estate entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and several founders from previous seed+speed funds.
