UVC Partners expands fund to 400 million euros
The Munich-based venture capital investor UVC Partners is significantly expanding its current fund. An additional 150 million euros in growth capital will be added to the existing early-stage fund UVC Fund IV. This brings the total capital raised to 400 million euros.
The fund was originally closed at the end of 2024 within just six months. With this expansion, UVC Partners is responding to strong demand from investors and intends to significantly expand its investment strategy.
Stage-agnostic investments from seed to growth
The additional capital will enable UVC Partners to make stage-agnostic investments in future. This means that start-ups will be supported over several financing phases.
According to Managing Partner Ingo Potthof, the expanded fund will enable investments from the early phase through to Series B rounds and beyond. At the same time, the fund upgrade sends a clear signal to founders: capital is still available for technology start-ups.
Portfolio shows strong development
Several companies from the UVC Partners portfolio have recently made significant progress. These include, among others:
- Isar Aerospace, which secured €150 million in funding after its first rocket launch
- Proxima Fusion, whose total financing in the field of fusion energy now exceeds 200 million euros
- Reverion, which has achieved a world record of over 74 percent electrical efficiency in reversible fuel cell systems
- FINN, whose subscription ARR has grown by 60 percent to 255 million euros
- Flix, which has announced an investment program of 2.4 billion euros for the expansion of its rail services
New Growth Fund for subsequent financing rounds
UVC Partners intends to use the new growth capital to invest more heavily in future financing rounds.
The fund is intended to provide additional funding for existing portfolio companies as well as enable investments in promising late-stage start-ups in Europe.
Close connection to the UnternehmerTUM startup hub
Cooperation with UnternehmerTUM, one of Europe's leading startup ecosystems, remains a central component of the investment strategy.
The network offers access to more than 1,000 companies, research institutions and talents from science and technology. Through this connection, UVC Partners aims to continue to identify promising deep-tech and technology start-ups at an early stage and provide long-term support.
With the increase in the fund, the Munich-based investor is positioning itself even more strongly as a long-term partner for European tech start-ups, from the early phase through to scaling.
