Berlin, June 11th, 2026 – Angel Invest, Europe’s most active super angel fund, today announced the final close of its oversubscribed Fund III. The fund closed above target, with demand from existing and new investors. They also announced the addition of new venture partners and advisors.
Fund III continues Angel Invest’s strategy of investing at angel, pre-seed and seed stages, writing first checks into founders before a market or product category is established. The firm invests in around 75 companies yearly and pairs capital with hands-on coaching. It invests across sectors, with a focus on artificial intelligence, energy, infrastructure, AI tooling, applications, and service-as-software.
Angel Invest has backed more than 110 companies from Fund III to date. Recent investments include Peec AI, Originator, Sapiom, Fonio, INXM, Mav9, Huzzle, Seapoint, Daisytuner, AskVinny and Feld Energy.
“We have backed more than 250 companies across our funds, and we are not done,” said Jens Lapinski, Founding Partner of Angel Invest. “The team we are announcing today reflects where we are taking the firm, venture partners who have founded and exited companies, and advisors including a Forbes Midas List investor who backed some of Europe’s biggest breakouts. Our ambitions go beyond the first check. Angel Invest is more than an angel fund.”
Across 250+ portfolio companies, Angel Invest’s early investments have attracted leading global investors and delivered exits. Portfolio companies include Augustus (formerly known as Ivy), which scaled to a Series B led by Valar Ventures with Creandum; Taktile, backed by Index Ventures and Tiger Global; Rasa, backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Accel and PayPal Ventures; Spacelift, backed by Insight Partners; PeecAI, backed by 20VC and Singular.
“Our partners don’t lend a name and step back. They invest early, they pick well, and they coach,” said Jag Singh, Managing Partner of Angel Invest. “Nazanin Daneshvar joined us from EQT Ventures after founding and scaling one of the Middle East’s largest startups to hundreds of employees. Connor Murphy, founder of Brdg and a former Managing Director at Techstars, joins as a venture partner. Both made early investments with us, that top tier VC funds have since followed into. And both spend hundreds of hours a year coaching the founders they invest in.”
