Entrée Capital Raises $300M to Expand Early-Stage Investment in AI and Deep-Tech
Entrée Capital has closed $300 million across two new funds, strengthening its position as a key early-stage investor in artificial intelligence, deep-tech, crypto infrastructure and software-driven innovation. The raise brings the firm’s assets under management to $1.5 billion.
The new capital will be deployed primarily at pre-seed, seed and Series A, with a remit spanning Israel, the UK, Europe and the United States. One vehicle, at $125 million, will focus on early-stage rounds, while a second, at $175 million, will support later seed and Series A/B opportunities, including selective follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies.
Entrée Capital frames the raise as a continuation of its long-term strategy of backing technically ambitious founding teams. Investment priorities include AI-native applications, vertical agents and enabling infrastructure; quantum and deep-tech systems; data, B2B software and productivity tools; and crypto infrastructure, security and decentralised physical systems. The firm also highlights “contrarian” and frontier-technology opportunities as a deliberate part of its mandate.
Partners describe the new funds as aligned with structural shifts underway in advanced computing and industrial technologies. General partner Ran Achituv emphasises the convergence of physics, compute, software and national-security innovation, noting Israel’s continued strength in deep-tech and quantum research.
Eran Bielski points to AI’s growing economic influence, arguing that its long-term impact goes beyond cyclical investment trends. Other partners underline the firm’s founder-led culture and its focus on market segments where low historical software adoption leaves room for step-changes in productivity.
Entrée Capital has invested in more than 180 companies since its founding in 2009, with a portfolio that includes monday.com, Deliveroo, Rapyd, SeatGeek, Gusto, PillPack and Coupang. The firm reports more than 40 exits to date and over $3 billion returned to investors.
