G-Force

G-Force is a pre-seed venture capital firm that invests in European deep-tech companies working on energy and industrial transition. Its stated focus covers energy systems, materials and industrial automation, and it backs science founders, often those emerging from university or industrial research settings. Typical initial investment is around €250,000, with the firm positioning itself as a first institutional cheque for technical teams seeking a credible path to an initial industrial customer and, ultimately, global reach.

Beyond capital, the firm combines investment with operational and public-funding support. A dedicated public-funding team works with portfolio founders to pursue non-dilutive grants and funded pilots; more than 30 grants have been won with portfolio companies and through the firm's platform. The stated rationale is to help founders build products, teams and early proof points while reducing reliance on dilutive funding at the earliest stages.

G-Force also maintains a network of more than 40 R&D consortium partners, which connects founders with industrial companies through funded projects. Together, the investment ticket, grant support and consortium access form a model aimed at science-based companies that typically need capital, industrial relationships and non-dilutive funding in combination rather than in sequence.
