Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Odyssey Ventures is most relevant for founders raising Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A rounds in AI/ML, Enterprise SaaS, Hardware, and Semiconductors, especially across Europe, United Kingdom, and United States.

Focus statement

Early-stage (Pre‑Seed / Seed) AI-enabled DeepTech that tackles large, mission‑critical markets — energy, materials, industrial & advanced manufacturing, human and planetary health — with global ambitions (particularly expansion to the US).

Value Add

Team of founders, engineers and operators turned investors with direct startup experience and board-level track records (e.g. founders of and investors in Pleo, Permutive, AnyDesk, Handshake).
Transatlantic presence and execution support: London HQ plus San Francisco office and a dedicated US 'land & expand' program (GBx) led by an on-the-ground team (Mark Charkin).
Technical domain expertise across AI, software, deeptech, science and engineering — positioning them to evaluate and accelerate science-led companies.
Founder-first alignment: explicit pledge to act in the founders' and company’s long-term interests rather than short-term firm economics.
Hands-on, operational support and network access (venture partners, corporate/fabless models, go-to-market and fundraising help) to shorten DeepTech timelines and commercialise quickly.
