Amadeus Capital Partners

Amadeus Capital Partners

Amadeus Capital Partners was founded in 1997 by Hermann Hauser, Anne Glover, and Peter Wynn. Hauser, a serial entrepreneur, previously co-founded Acorn Computers and ARM Holdings, providing both wealth and technical credibility to the firm's formation. The firm invests primarily in early-stage technology companies across Europe, with a focus on enterprise software, AI and machine learning, digital health, climate tech, and deep tech. Amadeus operates through dedicated venture funds and typically leads or co-leads seed and Series A rounds. Notable portfolio companies include featurespace (Fraud detection software), Graphcore (AI chips), and Iqgeo (geospatial analytics). Geographic coverage spans the UK, Continental Europe, and Israel. Amadeus manages approximately £900 million in cumulative commitments across multiple funds. The London office serves as headquarters, with an additional presence in Cambridge. The firm does not disclose an exact team headcount. There is no public record of a recent operational event from the last 24 months. Amadeus's structure is unusual: it began as a single-family office for Hauser's wealth but expanded into a multi-family office and institutional venture firm. This hybrid model lets it commit capital from co-founders alongside external LPs, giving it a patient mandate that pure institutional VCs often lack.
