The firm focuses exclusively on pre-seed investments in sustainable supply-chain, logistics, and industrial technology startups across Europe. Prequel's mission is to back visionary founding teams building more resilient, efficient, transparent, and sustainable supply chains — and to provide both capital and deep operational support from the earliest stages of formation. The firm announced its First Closing and is actively deploying across Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. Check sizes range from early-stage entries up to EUR 5 million, with a pre-seed sweet spot. Sector coverage spans B2B SaaS, AI, robotics and drones, supply-chain software, fintech, and manufacturing and industrial technology.

The broader co-investor network includes co-investors drawn from top European VC and deep-tech communities. Prequel's focus on supply chain is both timely and concentrated: geopolitical disruption, sustainability regulation, and the rising cost of inventory inefficiency have collectively elevated supply-chain software from a back-office concern to a board-level priority for European industrials. Bosse and Boerner bring direct operational insight into where the most acute founder-solvable problems exist across the supply chain, and provide hands-on support to help early-stage teams navigate enterprise sales cycles and corporate pilot programs.

Presto invests into fast-growing technology companies across Central and Eastern Europe, primarily at seed and Series A, with selective pre-seed entries. The firm leads rounds and has backed over 50 companies spanning fintech, SaaS, online marketplaces, food, energy, deep tech, and hardware. Presto is backed entirely by private capital — successful entrepreneurs, exited tech founders, and family offices — rather than public or EU grant funding. The firm's portfolio has attracted over EUR 300 million in follow-on capital from Western VCs including Andreessen Horowitz and Point Nine. Notable portfolio names include Cloudtalk, Ready Player Me, Oddin.gg, Woltair, IP Fabric, Sharry, Yieldigo, Inventoro, Finmap, Secfense, Zypl.ai, GaiaNet.AI, and bavovna.ai. Combined AUM from Funds I through III materially exceeds EUR 100 million.

Its most recent disclosed investment was a Series A lead in Choice in March 2026. Presto's decade of operating in CEE has produced a pattern-recognition advantage in identifying technical founders from the region who can scale globally. The firm's dual mandate — conventional B2B tech through Funds I-III and defense and dual-use tech through Presto Tech Horizons — positions it uniquely as European governments and NATO members accelerate investment in sovereign technology capabilities. Its willingness to lead rounds from seed through Series A makes it a decisive first institutional partner for CEE founders.

Previz Ventures
Previz Ventures

Previz Ventures is a tech and life sciences-focused early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in Herzliya, Israel. The firm invests into innovative technology companies addressing critical challenges in medical devices and healthcare information and communications technology, with a clearly defined entry point at post proof-of-concept, initial-to-approaching-commercial stage companies targeting large, underserved markets with scalable solutions. Previz concentrates overwhelmingly on Israeli-based companies to leverage the density of deep-tech talent in the Israeli ecosystem and the unique market access of its management team. The firm is led by founder and Managing Director Eliav Azulay Oz and operates with a small three-person team consistent with its selective, concentrated portfolio strategy. Previz has made approximately 8 disclosed investments and has a strong exit track record relative to its size. ReWalk Robotics (formerly Argo Medical) — a powered exoskeleton enabling paralyzed individuals to walk, stand, sit, and climb stairs — completed a NASDAQ IPO in September 2014 at an approximately $136 million market cap. Orpheus Medical, an enterprise clinical-video imaging platform, was acquired by Intuitive Surgical in February 2020. Clear-Cut Medical (intra-operative compact MRI for margin assessment of cancerous tissue) was among the firm's later disclosed investments. Previz screens investment candidates not only for financial return potential but for the transformative social value they can create in healthcare — improving patient outcomes, quality of life, and access to care. This dual mandate shapes the firm's portfolio construction: each company must meet a high bar on both clinical significance and commercial scalability. The firm provides ongoing strategic guidance across the full investment life cycle, from initial product development through regulatory clearance and downstream financing.

Prithvi Ventures
Prithvi Ventures

Prithvi Ventures is a New York City-based climate-tech venture capital firm founded in 2020. The name Prithvi — meaning 'earth' in Sanskrit — signals the firm's mission: invest in early-stage, ambitious startups that fight climate change by driving measurable global reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The firm's investment philosophy is to back 'boring problems with interesting solutions,' taking a deliberately monopolistic view of climate-solution market structure — preferring companies that can durably own a segment of the climate-tech stack rather than competing in crowded consumer plays. Co-founder Vivek Soni and General Partner Kunal Sethi lead the firm, which places explicit emphasis on diversity: roughly one-third of the portfolio is led by underrepresented founders, a share Fund II is designed to at least double. Fund II targets $50 million in commitments dedicated to seed-stage climate tech; the firm's total book value across 36 startups is approximately $52.3 million per Axios reporting. Prithvi has made 46 disclosed investments across cleantech, energy, food technology, agtech, SaaS, and hardware and robotics. Named portfolio companies include dClimate (decentralized climate data network), De Novo Foodlabs (alternative food technology), and Cyclops (most recent disclosed investment, February 2025). The portfolio spans environmental services, business productivity software, and food products. Prithvi's approach is systematic rather than thematic: the firm evaluates each company against quantified emissions-reduction potential and addressable market size before making an investment decision. This rigor, combined with an active LP and advisory network of climate operators and angels, allows Prithvi to provide portfolio companies with both technical credibility and access to the corporate sustainability buyers and policymakers who are most consequential for climate-tech commercial outcomes.

Privilège Ventures
Privilège Ventures

Privilege Ventures SA is a Swiss, FINMA-authorized early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland, with additional offices in Zurich and Boston. It is the venture capital arm of Privilege Management and is widely recognized as Switzerland's first female-led venture capital firm. The firm's investment thesis is grounded in a data-driven rationale: gender-mixed teams and women-led companies produce better financial outcomes, and Privilege frames this as an economic-return argument rather than a fairness one. The team of approximately ten people, including four Partners and two Venture Partners, spans Switzerland and Italy and brings deep expertise in entrepreneurship, management, finance, and governance. Privilege Ventures invests at seed and early-stage across three thematic pillars: healthtech, agrifood technology, and cleantech, with additional exposure to industrial tech, med-tech, wearables, and broader ICT. Its geographic footprint covers Switzerland and the rest of Europe, with selective Boston-based investments. The firm has approximately 40 portfolio companies. Notable names include Xsensio (wearable skin-chemistry monitoring, most recent disclosed investment March 2026), Adiposs (CHF 4 million Series A, June 2025), AgroSustain, Enantios, SONIX (May 2025), and SMEETZ (March 2025). Beyond capital, Privilege Ventures provides strategic support and mentorship throughout the investment lifecycle, with particular depth in helping portfolio companies navigate Swiss and European regulatory environments and institutional sales. Its status as Switzerland's first female-led VC has generated a differentiated LP base and a co-investor network that values diversity-aligned deal flow, creating a reinforcing pipeline advantage in sourcing and winning competitive seed rounds from underrepresented founding teams across the European life sciences and deep-tech ecosystem.

Procyon Ventures
Procyon Ventures

Procyon Ventures is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based early-stage deep-tech venture capital firm founded in 2014, now operating under the First Star Ventures brand (firststar.vc) — Procyon Ventures I remains the legacy debut fund. The firm was co-founded by Drew Volpe (background in conversational AI, search, unstructured databases, computational biology, and blockchain) and Millie Liu (background in AI and machine learning analytics, and co-founder of Sequoia China-backed Infervision, an AI medical imaging company). The firm's articulated thesis is 'computing x real-world' — with concentration in techbio, climate, robotics, and industrial infrastructure, and legacy coverage spanning computational biotech, connected sensors, AR/VR, and blockchain. First Star primarily writes pre-seed, seed, and selective Series A checks. The firm is headquartered at 245 Main Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts. As of early 2025 the combined platform has made 48 disclosed investments across ten-plus years, including 4 investments in 2024 and 1 in 2025. Notable portfolio companies include Bedrock Energy (advanced geothermal heating and cooling with proprietary boring technology up to five times faster than conventional methods — Series A, January 2025), Plus One Robotics (pick-and-place warehouse robotics), Scoot Science (ocean and aquaculture data science), and Infinite Analytics. The Procyon/First Star team's technical depth — spanning conversational AI, biotech computation, and machine learning at the co-founder level — allows the firm to engage credibly with founders working on genuinely hard scientific and engineering problems. This hands-on scientific orientation is rare among early-stage VCs and positions the firm as a valued partner for researchers and technical founders who find conventional VC feedback lacking in domain rigor. The firm's Cambridge location provides direct access to MIT and Harvard's deep-tech research ecosystems.

Proeza Ventures
Proeza Ventures

Proeza Ventures is a Monterrey, Mexico-based early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2019 that invests exclusively in the mobility sector — industrial tech, smart components, new vehicles, Mobility-as-a-Service, and digital data services. The firm is recognized as the largest mobility-focused VC fund established in Latin America and maintains a secondary office in Houston, Texas to support US deal flow. Proeza is backed by Grupo Proeza, a Mexican portfolio management company that operates Metalsa — a Tier-1 supplier of structural automotive products and the North American market leader in frames for light trucks. The fund is led by Managing Partners Enrique M. Zambrano and Rodolfo Elias Dieck, CFA. The firm's thesis holds that regulatory pressure, climate commitments, urbanization, and digital transformation are collectively forcing a fundamental rewiring of how people, goods, data, and energy move. Fund I targeted approximately 15 companies at a disclosed size of roughly $50 million, with initial checks averaging approximately $1.5 million. Fund II is being raised at a $70 million target. As of October 2025 the firm has made approximately 22 disclosed investments; notable portfolio names include Solvento ($12.5 million Series A, November 2024), Cargado (freight brokerage software), BUSUP (corporate shuttle platform), Xos Trucks (electric commercial trucks), and Ridepanda (most recent disclosed investment, October 2025). Proeza's industrial heritage through Metalsa gives it a genuine advantage in mobility investing: portfolio companies gain access to Grupo Proeza's Tier-1 supplier relationships, manufacturing facilities, and automotive OEM connections that would take years to build independently. The firm's geographic focus on the Americas — with selective exposure to Western Europe and Israel — positions it at the center of nearshoring-driven supply-chain realignment and the rapid electrification of commercial transportation.

Prospect Venture Partners
Prospect Venture Partners

Prospect Venture Partners is a Palo Alto, California-based life-sciences venture capital firm founded in 1997 by Alex Barkas, Ph.D. and David Schnell, M.D., both formerly of Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers. Since inception, the firm has raised more than $1 billion of committed capital from foundations, endowments, pension funds, and other institutional limited partners across three flagship funds — Prospect Venture Partners I through III — making it one of the most established dedicated biomedical venture firms on the West Coast. The four Managing Partners are Alex Barkas, David Schnell, Russell Hirsch, M.S., Ph.D., and Jim Tananbaum, M.D., together representing decades of combined life-sciences venture experience. Prospect leads rounds and ultimately invests $10 million to $20 million per company across new-company incubations, first and second venture financings, and later-stage private and public expansion capital. The firm's mandate is commercially attractive biomedical enterprises with outstanding entrepreneurial management teams, proprietary products, and innovative technologies. Across its history, Prospect has recorded approximately 161 investments and 38 portfolio exits. Notable exits include Amira Pharmaceuticals (acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb for $475 million in 2011) and Gloucester Pharmaceuticals (acquired by Celgene for $640 million in December 2009). The most recent disclosed exit was Nanosys in September 2023. Prospect's founding pedigree — two Kleiner Perkins partners building an independent life-sciences franchise in 1997 — gave the firm early access to the first generation of genomics and biotechnology companies and established LP and syndication relationships that have compounded over nearly three decades. Though the firm did not close a Fund IV and is not making new primary bets, its existing portfolio and governance roles continue to generate activity across its established base of biotech, pharma, and medical-device holdings.

Prospective Technologies VC

Prospective Technologies VC (PTV) is a New York City-based early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2021 by Alex Kuraksin, Sergey Negodyaev, and Nikita Yuriev. The firm was originally conceived to help Russian and broader Eastern European B2B startups scale internationally via the United States; its portfolio consequently spans US, Canadian, and Eastern-European-origin companies. Sergey Negodyaev and Alexander Kuraksin serve as Managing Partners — Sergey sets fund strategy and vision while Alex owns strategy, partnerships, finance, operations, and deal structuring. The team's cumulative expertise spans engineering, business development, operations, management consulting, strategic planning, and banking. PTV's fund targets up to $100 million in AUM, with disclosed check sizes of $100,000 to $3 million and a broader deployment envelope of up to $5 million when follow-on capital is included. The firm invests primarily at seed and early Series A into US-based B2B and SMB technology startups with global expansion potential, and frequently provides capital plus hands-on go-to-market and organizational support to founders from technical backgrounds scaling into enterprise customers. As of mid-2025 PTV has made approximately 12 disclosed investments. Notable portfolio names include TraceAir (drone-based construction-site monitoring), TestRigor (AI-driven automated regression testing for apps and websites), Nuvolos (seed investment, February 2025), and Magic Lane (most recent disclosed investment, June 2025). PTV's US-CEE bridge positioning fills a structural gap: founders building in Eastern Europe frequently have strong technical foundations but lack the go-to-market infrastructure and US enterprise network needed to cross the Atlantic. PTV's partners provide direct operational support in those specific areas, with a track record of helping portfolio companies navigate US enterprise sales cycles, build partnerships, and raise downstream capital from US-based institutional investors.

Gary Ritner retained ownership of the PSVC brand and joined AoA's Board of Directors. PSVC's nearly four-decade track record represents one of the most durable angel investor networks in the US Pacific Northwest.
