The Aventures is a VC fund in Copenhagen focused on Financial Services and FinTech. The team comes from heavy tech oriented background such as Cloud Infrastructure, Data Science, Theoretical Physics, Machine Learning, Software Development and Business development. We like to brand ourselves as "the nerds" in the tech space. We speak the same technical language as the founders and like to be an active part in the venturewe enter, depending on the needs of the founders. Our thesis is that we are building bridge spanning over the knowledge gap between deeptech founders and traditional investors.
