Paua Ventures is a Berlin based venture capital firm. Established in 2010, we have built our way up to becoming a leading tech investor in Europe with €70+ million under management and a portfolio of over 25 companies in different growth stages from all over Europe. We are passionate about backing visionary, exceptionally talented but at the same time humble founders and have been fortunate to work with founding teams of companies, such as Pipedrive, Stripe, Wandelbots, Detectify, Silexica and many more. Our approach as a VC is very service-oriented, providing full support through a proactive partnership, such as operational help in core business development tasks and support in HR & recruiting processes. The team is truly committed in being the best partner for entrepreneurs, aiming to be the bridge between new businesses and the corporate world.
The fund backs European companies at Seed and Series A stage, acting both as lead or co-lead investor. The investment focus is B2B Enterprise Software, Industry 4.0, B2B SaaS, Robotics and ML applications.
