Creator/Founder Fund

Thesis

The firm's core conviction is that significant scientific and technical breakthroughs originate within university research. Creator Fund's strategy involves leading or co-investing in early-stage deals, often providing the first institutional check to a founding team. They focus on deep technology sectors including AI, biotech, robotics, advanced materials, and quantum computing. The firm operates with a pan-European geographic scope, leveraging a network of student investors across numerous university campuses to identify promising research and founders. The firm closed its first European institutional fund at $41 million in October 2025, with a target of $55 million. This fund is dedicated to backing PhD and deep-tech founders across Europe. The firm plans to make approximately 40 to 45 early-stage investments from this fund, with typical check sizes ranging from $500,000 to $900,000. Previously, their fund size was not explicitly stated, but they have made investments with minimum check sizes of $100,000 and maximums of $2 million.
