Velocity Partners Venture Capital

Velocity Partners Venture Capital specializes in early-stage funding for technology startups, with a strategic focus on sectors where the Greek economy offers opportunities for global validation and market traction. Operating primarily at the pre-seed and seed stages, the fund identifies and supports innovative tech ventures that demonstrate disruptive potential in their respective industries. Their investment thesis centers on backing founders who combine technical expertise with strong entrepreneurial capabilities and an inherently global vision for their businesses.

The fund's investment criteria prioritize startups with well-defined business models and demonstrable market demand, either existing or with clear potential. Velocity Partners seeks companies poised for significant growth trajectories, particularly those that can leverage Greece's unique economic landscape as a testing ground before expanding internationally. Their portfolio typically includes software, fintech, agritech, tourism tech, and other technology-enabled businesses that align with Greece's economic strengths while addressing global market opportunities.

What distinguishes Velocity Partners is its founding team's composition of seasoned investment professionals, successful entrepreneurs, and domain experts who bring multifaceted expertise to portfolio companies. This collective experience, combined with the heritage and ecosystem connections of Found.ation (a prominent Greek innovation hub), enables Velocity to provide value beyond capital through mentorship, strategic guidance, and access to networks. Their hands-on approach to portfolio management helps founders navigate early growth challenges while preparing for subsequent funding rounds.

As a member of the Equifund family of venture capital funds, Velocity Partners operates with support from the European Investment Fund and the Operational Program "Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship & Innovation" (EPAnEK). This backing enhances the fund's capacity to catalyze innovation in the Greek startup ecosystem while connecting promising ventures to European markets and investors. Since its inception, Velocity Partners has established itself as a key player in transforming Greece's entrepreneurial landscape, helping position the country as an emerging technology hub in Southeastern Europe with startups capable of competing on the global stage.
