Investment-fund research reviewed 2026-10-06. Publicly identified funds, dates, amounts and fundraising status are below. Undisclosed commitments remain unknown; this is not a complete register of private SPVs or parallel entities. Fund size, status and investment stages | Vehicle / claim | Amount and date | What is supported and what remains unknown | | --- | --- | --- | | New Cloudberry Ventures fund, announced in 2026 | **€50 million**, announcement 2026-03-23 | EU-Startups reports a launch, with €1–2m tickets and Seed–Series A focus. It does not clearly distinguish target, first close or final close. Retain “announced €50m fund”; do not assert final closed commitments. No newer fund was located in focused searches. | | Cloudberry Pioneer Investments (CPI), predecessor | Size not found; existed before the new fund | EU-Startups identifies Quantum Brilliance as a predecessor investment. Historical performance claims are firm-reported, not audited proof; do not infer CPI fund size from returns. | | Cloudberry I LP | Size/vintage mapping not disclosed | Official privacy notice effective 2025-11-26 names this legal fund and Allocator One Limited as manager. Its exact relationship to the €50m announcement and CPI is not established by the notice. | Sources: [EU-Startups, 2026-03-23](https://www.eu-startups.com/2026/03/ex-google-moonshot-x-advisor-launches-e50-million-cloudberry-ventures-deeptech-fund-amid-saaspocalypse/); [official privacy notice, effective 2025-11-26](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/privacy-policy). The current official mandate is **Seed to Series A**. Historical portfolio labels also include Peak Quantum at Pre-Seed and Syntiant at Series C. Those exceptions do not establish a broad current Series C mandate. The €1–2m reported ticket range is a check-size claim, distinct from fund size or AUM. No verified aggregate AUM or committed CPI size was found. [Official mandate, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/); [portfolio, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio). A lower-quality article calls €50m a closed fund, whereas the stronger EU-Startups source says launched. A directory calls it Fund I and another calls it Fund II. Do not resolve numbering or final-close status by choosing a directory.

Baseline Adex/Signal statements describe prior state, not independent verification. Retain cited attribution, date, currency and classification caveats. | **Hydgen** | Modular electrolyzer systems for decentralized hydrogen production. | Seed, December 2024 in portfolio. Company verifies hydrogen-generation hardware; entry date/participation rely on firm portfolio. [Portfolio, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio); [company, undated](https://www.hyd-gen.com/). | | **Syntiant** | Low-power edge-AI processors, sensors and machine-learning models. | Series C, December 2024 in portfolio. Company verifies processor technology; participation and stage rely on firm portfolio. “Neural processors” means artificial neural-network compute, not human-brain interfaces. [Portfolio, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio); [company, undated](https://www.syntiant.com/). | | **Voltai** | Mechanical energy harvesting from waves/vibration; hardware candidate. | Seed, October 2024. Technology and participation are firm-reported; separate technical/funding corroboration not obtained. [Portfolio, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio). | The remaining official portfolio names are **Rootcause** (Seed, October 2025), **Fisent** (Seed, May 2025), **Keyrails** (Seed, November 2024) and **Arf** (Series A, June 2024). These are not automatically counted as hard-science investments: causal AI, applied GenAI and financial platforms require more technical diligence. [Portfolio, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio). Fisent's own **2025-05-30** announcement explicitly names **Cloudberry Pioneer Investments**, Luxembourg, alongside existing backers. It reports **$2m cumulative funding to date**, not a $2m extension round. This independently confirms predecessor attribution and the snapshot's total-raised caveat. [Fisent announcement, 2025-05-30](https://fisent.com/fisent-technologies-raises-2-million-to-date-with-follow-on-seed-round/). ## Neurotech findings **No verified neurotech investment found in the sources checked.** The current official portfolio, fund launch reporting, and searches for the exact firm name with brain/neurotech/neuroscience terms did not identify an attributed investment in neural recording, stimulation, BCI or other direct brain technology. Syntiant's neural-network chips are AI hardware, not demonstrated neurotechnology. Quantum and hydrogen companies are not neurotech merely because their products may be used in research or healthcare. Two search leads must not be converted into investments: an Allocator One event lists Sahin alongside neurotech entrepreneur Peter Schlecht, which establishes shared event participation only; a SpiNNcloud LinkedIn post has a Cloudberry comment but no investment claim. [Allocator One event, undated](https://events.infra.one/allocator-one/gp-series-round-table-munich); [SpiNNcloud post, undated](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/spinncloud-systems-gmbh_spinncloud-expands-in-germany-with-leipzig-activity-7355943266040573952-KxO2). An indexed Akash Walia LinkedIn profile also surfaced LYEONS and neurological-wellness language; the snippet did not establish a firm investment or direct neurotech product and remains an unverified lead. [Profile, search-index only, undated](https://uk.linkedin.com/in/akashwalia). ## Conflicts, gaps and later Adex review - Add the €50m **announced fund** and reported €1–2m checks with date/source and closure uncertainty; do not import the separate €30m Cloudberry VC fund, its team or semiconductor mandate. - Separate CPI predecessor investments from the newer fund and retain Cloudberry I LP's unverified vehicle mapping. Partner work at Google, Airbus or prior firms is not a Cloudberry Ventures portfolio investment. - Review **Sofab and Peak Quantum lead flags**: saved Adex participations say `isLead: false`, but checked reporting explicitly names Cloudberry as lead. Preserve each publication date separately from investment month. - For Belfort, retain a firm-reported participation caveat because KU Leuven's round investor list omits Cloudberry; verify the relationship and currency presentation before treating a precise transaction as confirmed. - Portfolio detail dates can create false day precision; the saved month precision is prudent. Peak's December 2025 entry and April 2026 report need reconciliation before rewriting `announcedAt`. - Fund final-close amount/date, total AUM, CPI size, firm check amounts, ownership, follow-on policy and exact legal vehicles remain missing. NFX was inaccessible; no profile-specific facts could be corroborated. - Founding year is reported as 2024 by PV Magazine, while snapshot `founded` is null; keep this dated reporting attribution until corroborated by official history. Recheck current team titles through visual/native page reading because extraction interleaves names and biographies. - No database or Adex changes were made. These notes are evidence for later review, not instructions to silently merge entities or overwrite records.

Baseline Adex/Signal statements describe prior state, not independent verification. Retain cited attribution, date, currency and classification caveats. # Cloudberry Ventures - Exact Adex ID: `CloudberryVentures` - Canonical Adex URL: https://adex.page/firms/CloudberryVentures - Official website: https://www.cloudberry.ventures/ - Research date and access date for all sources: 2026-10-06 - Status: complete research pass; open evidence gaps are identified below. ## Identity and starting evidence Cloudberry Ventures is a London deep-tech investor led by Mahir Sahin. Its official site gives headquarters as 3 Waterhouse Square, London, and describes investment in infrastructure technologies with defensible software or hardware. The firm at **cloudberry.ventures is distinct from Cloudberry VC at cloudberry.vc**. The latter's semiconductor fund and €30m initial close must not be attributed here. [Official site, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/); [Cloudberry VC's own site, 2026](https://cloudberry.vc/news/hello-tomorrow-semiconductor-report-2026/). The saved Adex MCP snapshot, `data/research/_sources/CloudberryVentures.adex.json` (retrieved 2026-10-06), describes an early-stage investor in finance, industry and computing infrastructure. It contains 14 portfolio participations, unknown check sizes, and roles for Mahir Sahin, Katrin Wilking and Jane Choi. Its September 2026 evidence explicitly records correction of earlier investment attribution from the unrelated Cloudberry VC. These are baseline records, not independent evidence. Official portfolio membership corroborates the 14 names; some round dates, investor vehicles and lead flags need review. NFX starting URL: https://signal.nfx.com/firms/cloudberry-ventures. A direct web read failed with an inaccessible-page error. Searches of that exact URL and for Cloudberry/Sahin on Signal did not expose a readable matching profile; unrelated Signal firms appeared. No Signal stage, check-size or team claims are treated as verified. Official team extraction has apparent text-order errors, so the snapshot's titles should not be changed mechanically from extracted text. [Team page, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/team). ## Fund size, status and investment stages | Vehicle / claim | Amount and date | What is supported and what remains unknown | | --- | --- | --- | | New Cloudberry Ventures fund, announced in 2026 | **€50 million**, announcement 2026-03-23 | EU-Startups reports a launch, with €1–2m tickets and Seed–Series A focus.

A day of the first of a month on a portfolio detail page may be a CMS convention; preserve month precision unless independently confirmed. Portfolio inclusion proves a firm-branded relationship, but does not by itself identify the investing legal vehicle, check amount or lead role. | Company | Technology rationale | Stage / date and attribution evidence | | --- | --- | --- | | **Sofab Inks** | Tin-oxide nanoparticle ink for perovskite solar-cell electron transport layers; advanced materials. | Official profile: Seed, June 2026 (detail page June 1). PV Magazine reports **$6m seed led by Cloudberry Ventures**, published 2026-07-22. Announcement date differs from entry month. [Official profile, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio/sofab-inks); [PV Magazine, 2026-07-22](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/07/22/sofab-inks-announces-6-million-in-funding-to-advance-novel-perovskite-etl-materials/). | | **Quantum Dice** | Oxford quantum-optics spinout using photonics for random-number generation and probabilistic compute hardware. | Firm profile says Seed, February 2026 (detail February 2), with “Why We Invested” narrative. No checked independent funding announcement established check size or lead status. [Official profile, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio/quantum-dice). | | **Xavveo** | Distributed photonic radar; sensing hardware for autonomy and defence. | Firm profile says Seed, December 2025. New fund's investment is also identified in launch reporting. No verified round amount found in this pass. [Official profile, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio/xavveo); [EU-Startups, 2026-03-23](https://www.eu-startups.com/2026/03/ex-google-moonshot-x-advisor-launches-e50-million-cloudberry-ventures-deeptech-fund-amid-saaspocalypse/). | | **Peak Quantum** | Superconducting quantum processors designed with physical error protection. | Firm profile says Pre-Seed, December 2025. The Quantum Insider reports **€2.2m pre-seed led by Cloudberry**, published 2026-04-15, and distinguishes more than €5m total financing including public funding. It credits Trending Topics as its source; these are not two independent confirmations. [Official profile, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio/peak-quantum); [The Quantum Insider, 2026-04-15](https://thequantuminsider.com/2026/04/15/peak-quantum-funding-superconducting-chips/). | | **Belfort Labs** | Hardware acceleration for fully homomorphic encryption, enabling computation on encrypted data. | Firm profile says Seed, August 2025 (detail August 8) and $6m round. KU Leuven reports **€5m seed led by Vsquared**; its listed investors omit Cloudberry. Portfolio supports Cloudberry relationship but independent participation is not confirmed by that list. Amounts may be currency presentations of one round; do not add them. [Official profile, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio/belfort-labs); [KU Leuven, updated 2025-09-24](https://nieuws.kuleuven.be/en/content/2025/belfort-new-spin-off-encrypted-compute). | | **Matoha** | Near-infrared spectroscopy combined with AI for material sorting. | Seed, July 2025 in portfolio; brief firm detail page confirms stage/date. Fashion for Good corroborates material-identification technology, not investor participation. [Portfolio, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio); [firm profile, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio/matoha); [Fashion for Good, undated](https://www.fashionforgood.com/innovator/matoha/). | | **Quantum Brilliance** | Diamond nitrogen-vacancy quantum devices and integrated quantum chips. | Series A, January 2025 in portfolio. Launch reporting identifies it as a **CPI predecessor** investment; do not assign to the new fund. Company site verifies diamond technology. [Portfolio, undated](https://www.cloudberry.ventures/portfolio); [company, undated](https://quantumbrilliance.com/); [EU-Startups, 2026-03-23](https://www.eu-startups.com/2026/03/ex-google-moonshot-x-advisor-launches-e50-million-cloudberry-ventures-deeptech-fund-amid-saaspocalypse/). |
