All 18 have a website we checked. Filing date and fund size are SEC data where a filing exists. Stage, sector and check size are our research. - Inclusion rule: Organizations that back startups. Individuals, buyout funds and firms we found to be inactive are left out. Sector: the firm states hardware as a focus on its own site, or we observed it in the firm's portfolio. - Order: Activity score out of 100: recency of the latest fund filing or dated deal (40: within 3 months 40, 6 months 30, 12 months 20, 24 months 10), share of the observed portfolio in this sector (30; 15 when the sector is stated only), size of the fund on file on a log scale (20) and completeness of the public record (10). It is a measure of activity and fit, not of quality or returns. - Fill rates: Of 18 rows: stage 16, sector 18, fund size 2, website 18. In the paid file: named decision-makers on 14 rows, firm email on 8, LinkedIn page on 13, check size on 6. ## Questions ### How many hardware investors in Europe are there? We list 18 as of November 2026. 7 of the 18 have a fund filing or a dated deal in the last 12 months. The cities with the most are Oslo (3), London (2) and Paris (2). ### Which hardware investors in Europe raised a new fund in the last 12 months? None of the 18 has a fund filing dated in the last 12 months on file; 7 have other dated activity in that time (fund announcement, new deal and portfolio news), most recently Vsquared Ventures (portfolio news, Nov 2026), ACT Venture Partners (new deal, Oct 2026) and Jolt Capital (portfolio news, Oct 2026). ### What is the typical fund size of hardware investors in Europe? None of the 18 discloses a fund size on an SEC Form D, so there is no median to give. 2 rows carry a size or assets figure from another public source, for example Heartcore Capital at €700M (own site) and Eurazeo at €40.0B (own site). ### Which stage do most hardware investors in Europe back? Of the 16 with a stage on file, seed (14), pre-seed (9) and Series A (9). A firm can back more than one stage, and 2 rows have no stage on file yet. ### Where does the data on hardware investors in Europe come from and how often is it updated? All 18 rows were checked on the firm's own website, with official registers and national venture capital association directories as the starting point. Filing date and fund size come from the filing. Stage, sector and check size are our research. Rows on this list were last checked on 9 Nov 2026 at the latest. The whole file is re-verified twice a year. ### Can I download the list of hardware investors in Europe as a spreadsheet? Yes.
