FORWARD.one, based in Amsterdam, is a venture capital firm managing over 200 million euros dedicated to investing in groundbreaking deeptech innovations that pave the way for a brighter future. Our focus extends to both hardware and software solutions in the realms of climate tech, semiconductors, and high tech.

Established in 2017 by a group of three accomplished entrepreneurs and two seasoned financial and investment banking professionals, the company has been built on the foundation of combining technical, entrepreneurial, and financial expertise. It is with this combination that we deliver stellar returns for our investors. We invest in entrepreneurs that are as ambitious as we are, with a hyperfocus on scaling and making a positive impact on the world.

Our journey began with the successful closure of our inaugural fund in 2018, amounting to EUR 40M. Fueled by the initial success of portfolio company Mayht's acquisition by Sonos within three years, FORWARD.one triumphantly secured its second fund of EUR 145M in 2021. This provided additional resources to further invest in promising deeptech solutions, expanding its reach to Germany, the Nordics, and Belgium. A notable achievement for FORWARD.one in Germany occurred in May 2023 with our Series A investment in Nuventura, a sustainable switchgear manufacturer.

Our investor base comprises family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and the esteemed European Investment Fund (EIF). Transparency is our core value. We are direct, honest, and cooperative in our interactions with each other, our entrepreneurs, and LPs.
