InReach Ventures

InReach Ventures is an AI-powered venture capital firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, focused exclusively on early-stage European startups. The firm was co-founded by Roberto Bonanzinga, a former Partner at Balderton Capital where he backed Contentful and Depop; Ben Smith, formerly UK Engineering Director at Yammer; and John Mesrie, former General Counsel at Balderton Capital. InReach's proprietary software platform, known as DIG, uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to discover, evaluate, and track investments across Europe by analyzing millions of data points, enabling the firm to identify promising founders before they reach conventional deal flow channels. The firm leads rounds and invests EUR 500,000 to EUR 2 million in first checks at seed stage across SaaS, consumer internet, marketplace, and AI-enabled businesses, with at least EUR 53 million raised in its second fund. The portfolio spans 29 companies with founders based in Berlin, London, Paris, Budapest, Copenhagen, and other European cities. Notable portfolio companies include Agenta, which develops LLM application infrastructure in Berlin; Dreamdata, which raised EUR 47.3 million in a Series B for AI-powered B2B marketing analytics in October 2025; NetBird, a systems management company that received investment in January 2026; and Craft, a document creation platform based in Budapest. The firm has achieved 4 portfolio acquisitions, including Returnly, Oberlo, and Qriously. InReach promises to respond to every entrepreneur within three days through its Get Funded portal, reflecting a deliberate commitment to speed and transparency that distinguishes it from most institutional venture processes. The team of seven brings experience in strategy, product, technology, and operations, and works closely with founders on the practical challenges of early company building across the fragmented European startup market.
