Sunfish Partners

Sunfish Partners is an early-stage venture capital firm backing technically ambitious startups from Central and Eastern Europe, with a particular focus on Poland. The firm invests at pre-seed, writing initial tickets of €150,000 to €300,000, and covers both hardware and software teams across space technology, defense technology, drones, cybersecurity, data science, hardware engineering and software engineering.

The firm's stated objective is to strengthen Europe's autonomy through its investments, concentrating on space and defense - sectors in which European demand has grown as governments seek to build sovereign capacity. Within that frame, Sunfish Partners targets founders with strong engineering or data science expertise and global ambitions, and offers hands-on support alongside capital as early-stage teams develop.

Geographically, the firm operates from Berlin and Warsaw, sourcing from Central and Eastern Europe as a whole. Founders matching the focus are invited to submit a pitch deck directly.
