Investment Thesis

Seven Capital is driven by a mission to re-arm Europe with technological innovation through dual-use and defence technologies. They blend visionary investment with hands-on acceleration, helping founders transform bold ideas into global impact. Their fundamental belief is that Europe must lead in technology sovereignty to shape a safer, stronger, and more competitive future. The firm invests not just capital but also provides expertise, strategic networks, and dedicated paths to scale for portfolio companies.

What Sets Them Apart

Corridor-first acceleration model: Unlike traditional accelerators, Seven Camp focuses on procurement readiness and institutional adoption rather than just pitch polishing
Artifact Factory approach: They build standardized, reusable packs (evidence, compliance, pilot, procurement) designed for high-stakes institutional doors
Door Engine methodology: Run repeatable door chains to real decision points with named owners, not just networking theatre
Execution-focused measurement: Progress tracked by proof objects and dated next steps rather than meetings or mentorship hours
Strong Ukrainian tech focus: Explicit welcoming of Ukrainian engineering teams with corridor-dependent entity optionality
Synchronous execution system: Removes coordination failure by combining grants, compliance, procurement readiness, legal, and investment banking in one integrated process
