United Founders

United Founders is a pan-European, founder-led venture capital firm investing at the early stage in European technology companies. The firm's stated thesis centres on building European technology champions and strengthening technological independence - an orientation that shapes both its investment themes and its operating model. Its focus areas span artificial intelligence and robotics, medtech and healthtech, cybersecurity and dual-use technology, sustainable technology, and quantum and next-generation computing.

Investing is carried out through the United Founders Fund, an early-stage vehicle targeting European technology companies across those domains. Alongside the fund sits Founders Force, a community of founders, operators, CTOs and domain experts who contribute capital, time, networks and practical guidance to portfolio companies. The structure reflects a conviction that early-stage returns depend as much on operating input as on capital, and it draws its value from the accumulated experience of founders who have built technology businesses themselves.

Portfolio support is described as hands-on and is delivered through local partners in European markets, supplemented by the community network. The geographic remit is Europe-wide and explicitly cross-border, connecting founders, expertise and capital across markets. For candidates, the firm combines an investment role with an operator-informed community model: assessing early-stage European technology companies within defined thematic areas, and working alongside experienced entrepreneurs to help portfolio businesses scale.
