A new pan‑European investment vehicle named United Founders has launched with a first closing of €30 million and aims to hit €80 million over the next 12 months. The fund will focus on artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cybersecurity, and space tech.
Over 100 startups and senior IT executives, including those from drone-maker Quantum Systems and delivery company Rohlik, are supporting the fund financially and through mentorship.
The goal: find and fuel early‑stage European ventures that can move fast in the artificial intelligence/deep‑tech stack.
What this means for creators
If you develop AI-powered products, workflows, or content services, this fund indicates increased financial availability across Europe, rather than only the United States.
It validates the “creator + AI” niche as part of the deep tech wave, giving your initiatives more credence.
This fund means you will have access to more peer communities, mentors, and content, even if you are not ready for funding.

What this means for entrepreneurs
As an entrepreneur in this space, you now have a new potential source of early‑stage capital tailored for artificial intelligence/deep‑tech. That reduces reliance on distant VCs.
The fund’s mixed-mentor approach (founders + executives) emphasises non-monetary benefits, like access to a valuable network.
As competition increases, it’s crucial to demonstrate a clear product-market fit, scalability, and a technological advantage.
