Elaia Q1 2026 Newsletter

Welcome to Elaia’s Q1 2026 newsletter. This quarter was one of our most active on record: two fund closes, a new partner, a landmark portfolio exit, and a fusion energy deal that made headlines across Europe. We head into Q2 with more capital to deploy and a portfolio that continues to raise the bar.

🏛️ What’s new at Elaia

Our Digital Venture Fund 5 (DV5) reached its first close at €120 million. DV5 will back B2B European B2B tech startups from pre-seed to Series B, focusing on companies with the potential to transform industries. DV5’s first two investments, mimic robotics and Linkup, are already live, signalling two of the themes (physical AI and AI-native software) we’re most excited about heading into the coming years. []
