Venture Capital firm backing visionary teams building defensible AI solutions for the world's hardest problems
ellipsis is a European venture fund run by people who have built AI themselves. We are usually the first institutional investor in a company: mostly in Europe, selectively in North America and Israel. The partners sit in Switzerland and Sweden; before investing they built AI products at Google and Apple, and founded and sold companies of their own.
First-check investments from $250K to $1.5M, transforming groundbreaking AI concepts into reality.
Focused solely on AI as a transformative paradigm, across all industries and sectors
Backing AI solutions that require proprietary data and specialized expertise to create defensible technology moats.
Former founders and operators actively supporting portfolio companies beyond just capital.
At ellipsis, we're not just investors – we're entrepreneurs and operators. Our team brings decades of experience in ML research, product development, and successful entrepreneurship. We focus on pre-seed and seed-stage startups where AI isn't just a feature, but the core of the product.
