Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Join Capital is most relevant for founders raising Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A rounds in AI/ML, Cybersecurity, Enterprise SaaS, and Hardware, especially across Europe, European Union, and Switzerland, with public check-size signals around $1m to $5m.

Focus statement

They invest €1–5M from Pre-Seed to Series A in deep tech across defence, space, enterprise and industrial domains, focusing on Europe and NATO-aligned regions and backing founders building real IP and clear advantages over legacy systems.

Value Add

  • Ambassador Network that connects founders with senior leaders from industry, defence and enterprise to help secure customers, navigate supply chains and accelerate validation.
  • Proprietary high-trust initiative: invite-only 'Asymmetric Advantage' forum and roundtables that provide privileged access and insights across defence, commercial and dual-use leaders.
  • Clear operational approach: minimum TRL 4 requirement, preference for companies with actual user/customer feedback, and systematic due diligence using checklists (including governance/ESG checks).
  • Willingness to lead or co-lead rounds, take board seats, and provide long-term, hands-on support beyond capital.
  • Sector and geography specificity: explicit focus on defence, space, quantum & advanced computing, AI & cybersecurity, advanced materials & manufacturing, autonomous systems & robotics, and NATO/allied regions.
