Munich-based VC firm UVC Partners has expanded its new fund to €400 million, including €150 million for growth-stage investments, backed by both existing and new investors, though individual names have not been disclosed.
- Established in 2011 by Ingo Potthof, Helmut Schoenenberger, and Johannes von Borries, UVC Partners invests in B2B technology startups across Europe. The firm supports companies at all stages, from early seed and Series A to growth-stage Series B rounds, focusing on DeepTech, ClimateTech, Mobility, and Software/AI.
- UVC Partners manages over €700 million in assets, with initial investments ranging from €500,000 to €10 million and the ability to allocate up to €30 million per company through follow-on and growth-stage funding. Its approach combines capital with operational support via a dedicated value-creation team and close collaboration with UnternehmerTUM, Europe’s leading startup hub, providing portfolio companies access to corporates, talent, and industry resources.
- The firm’s portfolio includes companies such as Isar Aerospace, Proxima Fusion, Flix, FINN, Aleph Alpha, planqc, Reverion, DeepDrive, Q.ANT, and Tacto, among others, operating across space, fusion energy, AI, mobility, and industrial technology.
- The new fund aims to provide UVC Partners with capital to invest across all stages, from early seed and Series A to growth-stage Series B. It will be used to increase stakes in existing portfolio companies, support larger growth financings, and invest in late-stage European B2B tech companies. The fund is also open to additional investors, with a final closing expected in late summer 2026.
“We are grateful for the strong support from both existing and new investors. We remain open to conversations with additional partners and expect a final closing in late summer 2026 as we continue backing the next generation of game-changing companies,” claims Ingo Potthof, Managing Partner at UVC Partners.
