The fund targets Europe\u2019s Deeptech advancements needed to surpass current AI constraints<\/p>\n<p>Advisors and limited partners in the new fund include Mark Bennett (VP, Google Partnerships), Neil Ventura (ex-De Beers), Ehsanul Islam (VP, Qualcomm), and Julia Holze (CosmicGold). The fund, targeting Seed to Series A stages with tickets of \u20ac1-\u20ac2 million, focuses on industrial infrastructure, compute infrastructure, and financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Sahin cautions that the current AI trajectory is not sustainable:<em>\u00a0\u201cThe physical chip was the deep tech big bang for the software era. And now we have reached a point where software and the AI race is hollowing out its own value. If we don\u2019t invest in the deep tech that powers AI \u2014 the physical substrate \u2014 the whole AI project hits a wall.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cloudberry Ventures is a venture capital firm focused on DeepTech investments. It invests from Seed to Series A across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. It backs teams with defensible moats such as data-driven software and patented hardware that serve as building blocks of societal and economic infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Cloudberry aims to stop the \u201c<em>IP strip-mining<\/em>\u201d of European innovation. \u201c<em>US investors are exploiting this by buying up European DeepTech at a 10x discount and flipping the IP to the States. Europe\u2019s innovators need investors who are fluent in science and scale, and that\u2019s what we provide at Cloudberry,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Sahin added.<\/p>\n<p>The firm states that the launch occurs amid \u201c<em>unprecedented bottlenecks<\/em>\u201d faced by leading cloud providers. Sahin emphasises that the \u201c<em>SaaSpocalypse<\/em>\u201d is here. \u201c<em>We are attempting to build an exponential digital future on top of a linear physical supply chain. We urgently need cleaner, more scalable, and affordable materials, paired with intelligent AI technologies to unlock new levels of efficiency and unleash economic growth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cloudberry focuses on three pillars: industrial infrastructure (advanced materials, energy, and autonomous manufacturing, compute infrastructure (next-gen memory, quantum, photonics, and Edge AI, and financial Infrastructure (Blockchain-enabled settlement and digital assets). The new fund has already invested in Xavveo, a Berlin-based photonics radar startup developing 360-degree awareness systems for robotics.<\/p>\n<p>Sahin\u2019s previous investment vehicle, Cloudberry Pioneer Investments (CPI), achieved an 86% Gross IRR and a 2.4x MOIC\u00a0in 16 months. One of its notable portfolio companies included Quantum Brilliance, a company building the world\u2019s largest quantum production line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeepTech demands a paradigm shift in how we build and back ventures. Europe produces world-class science and IP, yet comparatively few ventures are built from it \u2014 because deep tech founders are world-class scientists, not necessarily world-class entrepreneurs. What\u2019s missing is a new playbook: patient capital, systems thinking, and the operational experience to turn breakthroughs into global champions. Cloudberry Ventures brings all this together: the capital and patience for long development cycles and its venture partners who bring the systems thinking and hands-on expertise to help deep tech founders make the leap from lab to market,\u201d said Julia Holze, founder of Cosmic Gold and Venture Partner Cloudberry Ventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mahir Sahin, a senior Google executive (2009-2025) and ex-lead advisor at Alphabet&rsquo;s Moonshot X Factory, has launched a &euro;50 million fund at his London-based venture firm&nbsp;Cloudberry Ventures.
