Pitchdrive

Pitchdrive is an entrepreneur-led venture capital firm investing in pre-seed and seed-stage companies across Europe. Backed entirely by entrepreneurs, the fund aims to support founders with more than capital, partnering with them from day one and drawing on the experience of people who have built businesses themselves. Pitchdrive typically makes first investments of €250,000 to €2 million and has backed more than 70 startups through Funds I–IV.

The firm is industry-agnostic, with a focus on exceptional, AI-native founders building businesses in areas such as B2B technology, consumer products, marketplaces and software-defined hardware. Its portfolio includes companies developing vertical AI tools, business infrastructure, consumer brands, network-effect-driven platforms and intelligent physical products.

Alongside funding, Pitchdrive offers hands-on guidance, access to a mentor pool of experienced entrepreneurs and a network that includes founders who may later return as mentors or investors. The firm also shares investment news, founder perspectives and portfolio stories, reflecting its close involvement in the startup journey.
