Founder fit

Strongest documented fit
Relevant to European B2B technology and deep-tech founders from pre-seed through Series B. Current vehicles include DTS3 for pre-seed and seed companies in computing, life sciences and industrial innovation, and DV5 for broader early-stage breakthrough technology with EUR 1 million to EUR 15 million tickets.
Limits and questions to verify
Elaia operates multiple strategies, so a platform-wide stage range does not identify the right fund. DTS3 is specifically deep-tech, B2B and research-connected, while DV5 has a broader early-stage remit and its own ticket and maturity expectations.
Active-fund and deployment evidence
Elaia's March 2026 DTS3 final close and February 2026 DV5 first close document active capital, European geography, stages, sectors and cheque ranges for the firm's two current strategies.
