We’re a new type
of venture fund
We’re sponsors
of progress
Magnetic is a global technology investor. We use our capital and expertise to support the systemic shifts needed to push the world forward.
With a global mindset, we approach venture investing as a craft rooted in complexity, one that depends on championing brilliant founders at the frontiers of new technologies and economic systems. In order to do that, we undergo the deep inquiry needed to go where others fear to tread. Using deep knowledge and resolve, we back those reinventing the world’s financial system, our food supply and the way we consume — as we have done for many years, in Europe and beyond.
Systems thinking is at the
heart of all our decisions
We are closely guided by our thesis to maximize the commercial and societal impact of our work, towards a more resilient future.
At the heart of our work is the belief that progress depends on supporting systems of independence. The ideas and actions that will drive autonomy from technological, economic, ecological or even geopolitical limitations; that provide access to important goods or services; that drive sovereignty, prosperity and resilience. That ultimately will create the most meaningful outcomes.
Systems
Isolated technologies have isolated impact. For progress to happen, we need to back companies pursuing systemic change.
Independence
Progress hinges on access. We focus on companies reducing society’s and industries’ dependence on technological, economic, ecological or geopolitical limitations. We also fund those increasing access to important goods and services.
Resilience
Our investments target large outcomes that will transform important fields, sustainably, creating societies that are both prosperous and resilient.

Companies we have backed at the earliest stage:
Your partners, for the long term.
We aren’t limited by stage, we partner with founders and their teams from day one, or at any other point in their journey. While our core work happens early, we are long term capital partners.
Through wise counsel and access to domain expertise, we support our portfolio companies as they navigate the unpredictability of company building, and frame their vision for a different world.
