Lunar Ventures

About

We are technical investors, partnering with technical founders, who are building at the intersection of DeepTech and software.

We bring a fresh perspective into tech investments: leveraging our own backgrounds in software architecture, computer science, business strategy, and early stage investments.

If you’re a technical founder who's struggled to explain your tech and vision to investors, we set up a fund for you. We invest pre-revenue to help turn your science fiction into reality.

We care about your code, not your sales pipeline.

We like to work with founders as early as we can:

  • €300K - €1M initial investment
  • into technical teams with strong R&D backgrounds
  • building with ♥ in Europe products that will sell globally
