01 Ventures

01 Ventures (branded as 01V) is an early and growth-stage venture capital firm based in Amsterdam, with an additional office in London. Founded in 2015, the firm focuses on European deep tech, backing breakthrough companies across artificial intelligence, data and machine intelligence, automation, and human-computer interaction. 01V positions itself as a champion of the region's deep tech ecosystem, investing beyond capital to help founders build category-defining businesses. The firm typically writes checks between $200,000 and $5 million, investing primarily at the Seed and Series A stages. Its portfolio reflects a clear conviction in frontier technology, with notable investments including Graphcore (AI chips), Onfido (identity verification), Relayr (acquired by Munich Re), Scape Technologies (acquired by Facebook), Quantum Machines, and Motional. To date, 01V has completed four portfolio exits. Operating across the UK, Netherlands, Finland, and the United States, 01 Ventures takes a hands-on approach to supporting its companies. The team — including partners Chris Wade, Christian Hernandez Gallardo, Jacob Bro, and Christian Joelck — provides significant operational support to help founders scale into global category leaders.
