G+D Ventures
G+D Ventures is active since 2018 and founded by Venture Capitalists. We invest in growth-oriented companies whose innovations promote trust in our society.
About the program
We are a theme-driven investor focusing on growth-oriented companies, whose innovations promote and protect trust in our society. With this goal in mind, we established a €50m co-investment vehicle with the European Investment Bank and Giesecke+Devrient (G+D), a European trust leader. We invest in early-stage European TrustTech startups. TrustTech expands the traditional definition of cybersecurity to include technologies that promote trust across all layers of our digital ecosystem: infrastructure, identity, regulation and ethics.
