About
The NATO Innovation Fund says it is a standalone venture capital fund backed by 24 NATO allies and that the NATO organization is not invested in it or involved in its decisions. It invests in deep tech startups that strengthen defence, security and resilience, across areas such as energy, materials science, AI, autonomy, quantum computing, biotechnology and space. It prefers to lead rounds, with initial tickets of up to 15 million euros and typical first checks from seed through Series B. Its contact page lists offices in Amsterdam, London and Warsaw, and its About page marks the Netherlands as its headquarters.
