PreSeed Ventures

PreSeed Ventures (PSV) is a Copenhagen-area venture house rooted in the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and Denmark's most active pre-seed investor. It operates three vehicles: PSV Tech (early-stage software, AI and digital-infrastructure fund), PSV Hafnium (Denmark's first dedicated deep-tech fund) and PSV Foundry (DTU's investment and incubation arm). PSV provides the first institutional capital to university spin-outs and technical founders, typically at idea or prototype stage, writing tickets of roughly €0.1–1.5M.

PSV Tech's first independent fund closed at DKK 412M (~€55M) in 2022, backed by Denmark's ATP pension fund, EIFO and Vækstfonden, with a €70M Fund II in fundraising. PSV Hafnium closed an oversubscribed €60M in December 2025, anchored by the European Investment Fund and EIFO, to back around 25 science-rooted spin-outs across quantum computing, cleantech, new materials, biotech and new space. PSV has backed early Danish successes including Trustpilot (LSE IPO, 2021), Glycom (acquired by DSM), Vivino, Lunar and Labster, and remains a crucial bridge from Nordic research to venture.
