PreSeed Ventures

PSV's sourcing is rooted in 20 years as the funding and investment arm of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The firm states it sees almost every new startup emerging from Denmark, with visibility into 98% of the market. This institutional origin creates a proprietary pipeline that predates and outlasts typical VC networking, giving the team early access to founders across the Danish ecosystem.

PSV operates as a venture house with multiple vehicles. PSV Tech is an early-stage, generalist tech fund focused on Nordic founders. PSV Hafnium targets pioneering scientists and engineers in deep tech. Alongside the funds, PSV Foundry functions as an in-house venture builder, and PSV Lab supports pre-investment exploration.

PSV is an early-stage investor, moving from pre-seed and seed rounds into startup-stage commitments. The firm also follows on through expansion and late-stage rounds, supported by a portfolio where more than 75% of companies raise subsequent funding. Stage decisions adapt to the technology's maturity and the founder's commercial traction.

Yes. PSV maintains shared capabilities across brand and communication, legal, finance, people and culture, and ESG and impact integration. These resources operate as a flexible support layer, not a fixed program, and are accessible to all founders across PSV Foundry, PSV Tech and PSV Hafnium.

PSV Hafnium is the firm's deep-tech fund, explicitly structured for scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs building at the frontiers of technology. It differs from PSV Tech, which deploys a broader early-stage mandate across Nordic software and technology startups. The separation allows tailored due diligence, portfolio support and networks for ventures with longer R&D cycles.
