Raspberry Ventures

Raspberry Ventures

Raspberry Ventures launched in 2022, founded by Alex Farcet in London. The firm operates as a tightly curated co-investment syndicate — not a blind-pool fund. Farcet personally selects and structures each deal, targeting European ClimateTech, AI, and deep tech companies raising Seed to Series A rounds. The website explicitly frames the vehicle for busy professionals who want access to vetted VC-led rounds without the overhead of direct sourcing. Investment activity is concentrated in Europe and spans 36 transactions across 27 portfolio companies as of late 2025 (per the firm, 2025). The firm co-invests alongside top-tier venture capital firms, with a stated preference for keeping Raspberry Ventures as a single line on a startup's cap table. Specific portfolio companies have not been publicly named, though the firm confirms vintage years from 2022 through 2025 and notes that all positions remain held with no exits to date. Sector focus is narrow — ClimateTech and AI exclusively — with deal flow generated through Farcet's direct relationships with founders and lead investors. Team details and total deployment figures are not disclosed. The operation appears to be a solo practitioner model, with Farcet as the visible principal and no additional offices or investment professionals listed. There is no indication of a philanthropic foundation, real-asset arm, or club membership tied to the firm. In May 2026, the firm's online presence still centered entirely on the hand-curated syndicate structure that has defined it since inception. Structurally, Raspberry Ventures differs from a conventional venture firm by offering access via a syndicate rather than a closed-end fund. There is no public information on succession planning or a broader operating company. The model is built around a single decision-maker, which concentrates sourcing and diligence risk but also allows for rapid execution and a lean cost structure — a trade-off allocators must weigh carefully.
