Founded in 2018 in Zurich by Marcus Weber and Elena Castellano after two decades of building enterprise technology companies. Their conviction: the best companies are built at the intersection of deep technology and massive market need.
What started as a $80M debut fund has grown into a global platform managing over $280M across three funds. Today, LPD Capital is one of Europe's most active technology investors, with a portfolio of 120+ companies spanning AI, DeepTech, FinTech, Climate Tech, and enterprise SaaS.
We don't just write checks. We roll up our sleeves. Every portfolio company gets access to our operational team, our global network of executives and operators, and the collective wisdom of a firm that has been through every stage of the startup journey — from garage to IPO.
We invest when others hesitate. Deep technical diligence gives us the confidence to back founders before the market consensus forms. Our best investments were made when the technology was nascent and the market was skeptical.
Capital is table stakes. We embed ourselves in our portfolio companies' journeys — from technical architecture reviews and go-to-market strategy to executive hiring and board governance. Our team has built companies; we know what founders need.
With offices in Zurich, Berlin, London, and New York, we connect European deep-tech with American scale. Our network of 200+ operators, executives, and industry leaders spans every sector and geography we invest in.
