Overkill Ventures

What is Overkill Ventures?

Overkill Ventures is an investment fund that focuses on backing pre-seed and seed stage startups.

They are actively investing in a diverse range of industries, including Software, Media, Education, Business Solutions, FinTech and Financial services, Hardware and Manufacturing, Entertainment and Sports, IoT and Wearables, A.I. and Big Data, HealthTech and Fitness, Blockchain and Cryptos, Cloud Services and Infrastructure, Developer tools, Future Of Work, Impact, Healthcare and Wellness, Nanotechnology, and the Consumer sector.

Overkill Ventures prides itself on investing in founder teams at the pre-product-market-fit stage with unique, original insights. They have a passion for startups that leverage newly available technologies to address longstanding issues, especially those that promote a positive impact on future generations. With an investment range between $40,000 and $250,000, their sweet spot for providing capital aligns with their minimum investment size at $40,000.

Overkill Ventures has a strong specialization in pre-seed and seed funding rounds.

They are open to investing in various fields but express a significant interest in projects that involve blockchain, computer vision, augmented reality, and machine learning. However, they prefer to steer clear of industries like games, RFQ concepts, retail concepts, and hardware projects, where they may not have the best alignment with their strengths or interest. Overkill Ventures has made a notable impact by investing in 38 pre-seed startups while also achieving multiple exits.

Although they are not seeking new investment opportunities, they continue to be involved in the startup ecosystem through their sister funds such as Accelerace in Copenhagen, focused on pre-seed startups from the Nordics or Baltics, and New Nordic Ventures for seed stage B2B software startups from the CIS or CEE region.
