About Me
Rockaway Ventures is an early-stage VC fund with €53M AUM, investing from Seed to Series A (sweet spot: late Seed/pre-Series A). Initial ticket sizes range from €0.5M to €2M. We invest across Europe (with strong presence in DACH and CEE) and in the US, specifically with European founders. Our core focus areas include Commerce, Energy, Industrial, and DefenseTech/Dual-Use, but as generalists, we’re also open to compelling opportunities beyond these sectors—especially those driving AI- or tech-enabled disruption in key industries.
