Serena Data Ventures funds (I,II)

<aside> 📌 In 2016, Serena Data Ventures I (€70m+) pioneered the belief that infrastructure software will be a pivotal driver of economic value. Since then, we have demonstrated solid foundations with 80% of our portfolio companies now operating in the US, and some of them reporting over €20m in ARR, coupled with +100% growth 4 to 5 years after launch.

<aside> 📌 In 2023, we have closed Serena Data Ventures II, a fresh €100m+ new fund to continue our mission of backing the best founders with global ambition. Through Data Ventures II, our initial conviction to bet on infrastructure software has been reinforced, in a context where trust, intelligence and computing power are increasingly needed.

<aside> 📌 Our thesis differentiates from many others, more often positioned on application layers rather than infrastructure ones. We invest in the building blocks of next generation software, with a deep understanding of underlying layers. Our thesis mainly focuses on tech topics : data infrastructure, AI/ML, devtools, blockchain and quantum computing.
