Over 100 founders and operators from 26 countries, including leaders from Quantum Systems, Rohlik, and planqc, have joined forces to support a new pre-seed and seed fund focused on AI and deeptech startups across Europe. Many will mentor portfolio founders, with 31 also investing in the fund.

United Founders will invest up to €1 million for AI and deeptech startups in Europe, with a focus on hardware, dual use companies and medtech. The fund has already backed Israeli startup Wonderful, which builds customer-facing AI agents, and German healthtech Every Health.
“We all shared the same observation: there aren’t enough connections between different European countries. Everyone has their own little ecosystem. The idea was to create a sort of pan-European mafia of successful entrepreneurs who are willing to give back time and money to the new generation of entrepreneurs,” says Maxime Paradis, the fund’s managing partner based in Paris and Zurich.

United Founders aims to help entrepreneurs access funding, talent, and customers across Europe while strengthening connections between regional tech ecosystems and reducing market fragmentation.
