  • HR Energy

    Led · Equity · May 2026

    Founded in 2021, HR Energy produces PVT heat-pump systems that are mounted behind existing or new solar panels and installed in buildings. Its system replaces a conventional outdoor heat-pump unit and is promoted as silent, maintenance-free, and visually unobtrusive, making it usable in densely built areas. The company claims that its solution typically does not require a heavier electrical connection. HR Energy is scaling production and expanding organizational capacity and installer support following the recent financing. The articles do not provide revenue, user, or other financial metrics.

  • FrostByte

    Participated · Seed · May 2026

    FrostByte develops cryo-electronics intended to operate at extremely low temperatures for quantum technologies, including specialized cryo-CMOS circuits. The company also produces cryogenic integrated circuits and switches to control, bias and read out quantum devices locally. Its approach emphasizes scalability by moving control infrastructure closer to the processor to reduce external cabling, heat generation and system complexity for large-scale qubit systems. FrostByte was founded by James Kroll (CEO) and Luc Enthoven (CTO) with scientific support from Fabio Sebastiano and Masoud Babaie. The company is based in Delft, the Netherlands and recently raised €1.3M to expand operations and development efforts.

  • QuantWare

    Participated · Series B · May 2026

    QuantWare develops modular quantum processors built on its proprietary VIO architecture and has introduced the VIO-40K design aimed at higher qubit capacity. The company produces commercially available quantum processing units at industrial scale and follows an open approach that allows third parties to build and integrate their own designs. QuantWare was founded by researchers from QuTech and is expanding manufacturing capability in Europe through KiloFab, a dedicated facility in the Netherlands. Following its €152 million Series B, the company plans to scale both processor development and industrial production. Management frames these steps as accelerating the transition of quantum computing from research toward large-scale commercial deployment.

  • Primio

    Participated · Equity · Mar 2026

    Primio has built a mobile-first learning and work platform designed for the many practically schooled employees and informal caregivers who support the Dutch elderly-care system. The app hosts more than 80 visual, bite-sized trainings—co-created with care organisations—covering topics such as early-warning signs, ergonomic working and mental resilience. Lessons last only a few minutes, fit easily into the workday and aim to drive measurable behavioural change; the company now issues over 750 certificates per week, cuts learning time by 75 %, and reports 82 % fewer physical and mental complaints after three months of ergonomic training. User satisfaction scores average 4.3/5 across more than 107,000 evaluations, and participants report a 40 % increase in perceived support. Primio’s founders aim to reach 100 million certificates in the Netherlands and internationally, thereby easing pressure on district nursing and nursing-home care. The freshly raised capital will fund further product development and expansion to additional Dutch care organisations. Prior backers include Healthy.Capital, though historic round sizes were not disclosed.

  • Qualinx

    Participated · Equity · Jan 2026

    Founded in 2015 as a spin-off from TU Delft, Qualinx applies proprietary Digital Radio Frequency (DRF) technology to shift many analog radio functions into the digital domain, sharply reducing power consumption, chip size and cost. Its market-ready QLX3Gx Series GNSS chip consumes up to 10× less energy and offers up to 5× the positioning performance of conventional solutions while fitting into a compact 5 × 5 mm package. The device supports concurrent tracking of six satellite constellations and multi-band processing, integrates hardware-level security, and can be reconfigured via software to extend product lifecycles. Manufacturing is handled by GlobalFoundries in Dresden, anchoring production within the EU. Target markets span wearables, pet and asset trackers, IoT sensors, drones, vehicles, telecommunications and satellites. The company plans mass production in 2026 and will showcase its technology at CES 2026 while offering developer kits to OEMs. With the latest financing, Qualinx has raised €40 million to date and anticipates a Series B round in the second half of 2026.
