About us

IQ Capital is a dedicated European deep tech venture capital firm, built on the conviction that frontier technology will underpin the next generation of globally significant companies.

Deep tech founders are advancing intelligence, reinventing energy, accelerating computation, decoding biology, and building resilience. They design products to disrupt industrial norms and improve how we live and work. There is no playbook – it requires extraordinary persistence, deep technical insight, and the vision to foresee and shape customer needs.  

Since 2005, we’ve partnered with over 200 of Europe’s most ambitious deep tech founders, supporting them to iterate towards product-market fit, reach technical and commercial inflection points, and develop compelling narratives about why their technology and products matter.  

We lead rounds at pre-Seed to Series A and with our growth opportunity funds can follow-on with up to $40m. Over six fund cycles, our team has supported founders through to acquisition by some of the world's largest technology companies, including Apple, Meta, Google, Siemens, Qualcomm, and Oracle.
