Bullish Signals

Freshly launched €30M Fund I — actively deploying capitalblog
Lead-investor approach enables fast decisions for foundersblog
€200K to €1.5M tickets available for very early stagesblog

Contrarian Signals

AI must be foundational, not a buzzword — strict thesis disciplineblog
No interest in non-AI or traditional software playsblog

Founder Do's

Position AI as core competitive advantage, not a feature
Show clear path from idea to product-market fit
Highlight cross-border ambitions in DACH or France
Actively seek lead investor, not co-investor
Bring operator or research background

Founder Don'ts

No AI-first approach — classic SaaS without AI core
Too late stage — invests only pre-seed and seed
No European go-to-market angle
