Once in a blue moon, a new fund comes along to rewrite the future…

March 27, 2025

From Purple to Yellow, it’s with great joy to announce the closing of our new fund: Blue 💙

Now more than ever, it’s time to invest in Europe’s scientific ingenuity. We believe Europe’s scientists and entrepreneurs are providing novel solutions that will lead the world through the climate transition.

We’ve already seen this in action with companies including Pasqal, Airthium, Moonwatt, Epigene Labs and Pruna AI — and we’re just getting started.

This is why we are determined to do our part in ensuring these types of startups have the resources and the hands-on support of our community to scale and make the biggest impact possible.

Our vision for Blue:
✅ Final closing at €250M by year-end
✅ Support ~40 startups tackling sustainability challenges, leveraging science and innovation
✅ Back entrepreneurs thinking big and shaping the future

At Daphni, we remain deeply committed to supporting bold, sustainable European entrepreneurship. The time is now to redirect the future, championing a vision that drives systemic change and shapes a sustainable and resilient Europe and beyond.

Are you an entrepreneur eager to leverage innovation and/or to turn science into sustainable disruption? Don’t wait a moment a longer and apply today at apply.daphni.com

Cheers to this new chapter together… the big blue sky is the limit!
