VCUK Launches New Private Equity And Venture Capital Initiative With A Focus On Europe
European venture capital is entering a new growth phase, and VCUK is stepping in expanding its activities with a new structured Private Equity and Venture Capital arm set on a first closing to a $60M target size to capture the momentum.
This new fund will target high-potential European companies, with a particular emphasis on DeepTech and other innovation-driven sectors where technology underpins scalable and sustainable business models.
While most investors focus primarily on financial metrics, VCUK applies a different approach to selecting projects. The firm prioritizes companies that already demonstrate a working product, confirmed market demand through customer or investor interest, and a technological edge that positions them to reshape industries. Investment horizons will typically range from three to five years, with expected returns of 25–50% IRR (in USD terms).
VCUK will primarily focus on pre-A and A rounds but remains open to earlier-stage opportunities where strategic customer traction is evident. The fund also allows for participation in a limited number of secondary transactions, giving it flexibility to back strong companies across different stages of maturity.
Sector priorities span FoodTech, AgroTech, Green Energy, Health & Wellness, and EdTech, alongside fast-evolving areas such as Mobility, FinTech, logistics, and infrastructure. Of particular interest are breakthrough technologies with the capacity not only to strengthen existing markets but also to create entirely new industrial niches - areas where European innovation is increasingly competitive on a global scale.
Behind the strategy is a team of domain experts with backgrounds in quantum processors, data center infrastructure, and advanced computing. This expertise enables VCUK to assess projects with both financial discipline and technological precision. Coupled with a streamlined decision-making process and willingness to co-invest alongside other professional investors, the firm positions itself as one of the most agile and insightful entrants to the European VC landscape.
