Early-stage VC fund Florent Venture Partners has launched a European fund from Luxembourg fund, backing founders building novel AI-native applications across Northern Europe and beyond.
According to Bloomberg, the firm plans to raise up to €50 million to deploy in early-stage AI/enterprise startups in Northern Europe.
The team includes founders and investors with backgrounds from big tech (Apple, Google), clean-energy/solar (Svea Solar), well-known VC (Sweet Capital), and the Y Combinator network. It is led by Christian Dorffer (ex-CEO of Candy Crush) and Nolan Gray (solar energy entrepreneur).
Based out of the Luxembourg offices of Fundcraft, Florent Venture Partners backs companies developing solutions that solve industry or enterprise problems and have faster paths to monetisation. Beneficiaries are normally beyond the idea stage and able to build commercial traction quickly. The fund will reportedly make investments of up to €1 million in early-stage startups with the first round of fundraising in August 2025.
