Our Story

1 / 3

We started Post Urban Ventures because we were increasingly frustrated with how great ideas, IP, talent and an accessible market in Europe were still behind US businesses. But opportunities for early-stage deeptech have been growing with the arrival of Silicon Valley mega-funds and a maturing of the ecosystem.

2 / 3

What was missing was an entity that could bridge academia, late-stage investors and industry. Post Urban Ventures is showing the success of this methodology with the ever expanding list of institutions and investors we collaborate with

3 / 3

Our industry partnerships mean we have a strong ‘market pull’ in everything we do, while our academic relationships mean we try to be rigorous in our output.  ​Since 2016, we have hand-built 11 deep tech ventures who have all gone on to raise VC-funding.
