We believe that we are on the edge of a fundamental shift, not only in the the way we experience and engage with technology, but the way we experience and engage with the world.

Recent breakthroughs in areas like artificial intelligence, mixed reality and robotics have set the stage for the next era of computing, an evolution of the internet, no longer defined by 2D displays or confined to screens on devices.

Where the mobile era put powerful machines in our pockets, enabling us to use them anywhere, the next era of computing will add another dimension and exist everywhere.

By naturally integrating into more spaces and places around us, technology will be increasingly woven into our daily lives in a way that is more intelligent, intuitive, and spatial—more human.

Liberated from the limits of boxes and buttons, these converging technological advances offer the means to transform the way we interact with data, devices and each other.

Enabling digital experiences that not only feel more natural, mirroring the way we make sense of the world, but entirely eliminating the friction between people and computers. Seamlessly merging the digital and physical realms into one powerful unified reality.

This experiential shift will create new possibilities for virtually every aspect of how we live, learn, work, play, create and connect.

The potential is extraordinary.

We're convinced this represents one of the greatest opportunities of our time, providing the next platform for disproportionate societal and economic value creation. Empowering a new generation of founders to redefine entire industries.

In fact, we're willing to bet on it.

So we've set out to support these founders to bring this future into focus. As domain experts, trusted partners and true believers.

It's the reason we exist.

Our purpose is to back visionary founders building for the next era of computing. Those with the foresight to see what's possible and the fearlessness to follow through. Who are applying and advancing innovation to augment our capabilities, enhance our communications and extend our horizons. Fundamentally changing the way we engage with technology,  opening up access to experiences and opportunities that were previously unimaginable, 

Unleashing creativity, productivity and progress on an unprecedented scale.

FOV Ventures typically makes initial investments of up to €500k in European startups at the pre-seed or seed stage. As a specialist fund we look to add value and be as collaborative as possible. At pre-seed we’re happy to lead rounds and bring in other angels, or syndicate with other lead VC’s at the seed stage.

FOV Ventures is a European fund with partners based in London and Helsinki. The two partners, Dave Haynes and Petri Rajahalme, have deep experience in this space, having actively invested in it for the past eight years at other venture funds, corporates, early stage accelerators and as angels.

In addition to our own expertise, additional value add comes through FOV’s active ‘Edge Network’ who help scout new deals and support the portfolio. This network includes leaders at the major tech companies, exited founders, opinion leaders and academics.
