Investment Thesis

Nauta Capital is a pan-European venture firm investing from pre-seed to Series A in B2B software and deep tech. Their core thesis is that specialist early-stage investors with deep European networks can back companies that scale beyond their home markets, including into the United States, and its sixth fund adds a sharper focus on deep tech alongside enterprise software. What makes Nauta unique is its anchor support from the British Business Bank, which provided about $35M of the $70M first close of Nauta Tech Invest VI, covering half of the fund raised so far.
