We are a deep tech seed fund
The i4 Capital Fund is a $40+ million venture capital fund dedicated to innovative companies in the seed phase that are developing disruptive technologies. As a lead investor, we take a proactive approach that leverages our entrepreneurial spirit, technical expertise, governance and fund management experience. We are the ideal choice for companies looking for a strategic partner, and not just capital. We establish close collaborations with our entrepreneurs to achieve shared success. We benefit from an extensive business network that includes entrepreneurs, investors, business professionals, incubators, accelerators, universities, research centers and other key players in the ecosystem.
Mission: Building a prosperous and responsible future
As an entrepreneurs-for-entrepreneurs fund, i4 Capital’s mission is to create several international growth success stories, and to ensure its sustainability by attracting new talents, while providing high returns to our investors.
Our values
The 4 i's of i4 Capital
Integrity
Our business relationships are based on honesty, transparency, and fairness. We only partner with people who share these values.

Impact
We aim to propel transformational startups to success so that they have a profound and lasting impact on society.
Imagination
We believe that imagination is a powerful driver of change and a creator of opportunity.
