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 and status
All amounts below are USD. They represent individual fund commitments, not company financing rounds or AUM.
| Vehicle | Amount and status | Announcement / vintage evidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Angular Ventures I | $41M publicly announced fund; historical first close was $11M in spring 2018 | Founder retrospective, [Building Angular Ventures](https://medium.com/angularventures/building-angular-ventures-bc7c90ffa952 ), 2021-10-14, says the $41M announcement occurred November 2019. |
| Angular Ventures II | $80M raised fund, described as oversubscribed and launched; not an $80M fundraising target | Same founder retrospective, 2021-10-14; formation independently confirmed by fund counsel [Gunderson Dettmer](https://www.gunder.com/print/v2/content/2356/angular-ventures-announces-80m-second-fund.pdf?lang=en ), client news dated 2021-10-14. |
| Angular Ventures III | $125M launched fund; $120M original target, with demand twice that target; the firm deliberately constrained accepted commitments | [Official Fund III announcement](https://angularventures.com/essays/15 ), 2025-02-03. The announcement presents an established fund, not merely a target, but does not specify its legal final-closing date. |
Fund III is the latest-known core fund found after searches for subsequent funds through the research date. The [IVC-GNY-KPMG 2024 investors report](https://www.ivc-online.com/Portals/0/RC/Investors%20Report%20%28MAF%29/IVC-GNY-KPMG_INVESTORS_REPORT_2024_final.pdf ) categorizes its $125M capital raising under 2024, while the public announcement is February 2025. Preserve both dates; publication date and fund vintage need not coincide. The three core sizes sum arithmetically to $246M, but that is **not verified current AUM**. Additional vehicles are mentioned by the firm, without sizes in the checked primary announcement.
A secondary [Marketcast Select Fund II filing summary](https://marketcast.smartkarma.com/company/angular-ventures-select-fund-ii-lp ), accessed 2026-10-06, reports an August 14, 2025 Form D with a $25M offering and $0 sold. This is an unverified regulatory lead, not evidence of a $25M closed fund; primary SEC filing and subsequent sales need review before inclusion in Adex.

| **Beebop.ai** | Power-system forecasting/orchestration and residential flexibility control; technically specialized grid optimization. This is a software/energy deep-tech candidate, less clear-cut than physical hardware. | Official [company announcement](https://beebop.ai/blog/beebop-ai-raises-5-5-million-seed-round-to-accelerate-the-energy-transition ), posted 2024-09-12 with dateline September 11, says $5.5M seed led by Angular with Contrarian support. [Angular investment thesis](https://newsletter.angularventures.com/p/magic-flexibility ), 2024-09-17, confirms the investment and describes difficult large-scale device modeling. |
The official portfolio index at https://angularventures.com/portfolio was initially readable/search-index accessible but subsequent direct reads timed out. It confirms Blue Energy, Beebop and others, but this review does not claim to audit every portfolio company. Ordinary SaaS and general AI investments are not automatically classified as deep tech. LightSolver performance comparisons and Moonshot future economics remain issuer/investor claims, not independently validated engineering results.
## Neurotech and relevant false-positive leads
**No verified neurotech investment found in the sources checked.** Checked the saved investment list, Signal, official portfolio/announcements, and searches combining Angular with neurotech, neuroscience and AiM Medical Robotics. This is a public-source finding, not a claim that Angular has never invested in neurotechnology.
- **AiM Medical Robotics:** The Adex snapshot attributes $8.1M Series A (2025-09-30) to Angular. The actual [issuer financing announcement](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/09/30/3158877/0/en/AiM-Medical-Robotics-Secures-8-1-Million-Series-A-Financing-to-Transform-Neurosurgery-with-MRI-Compatible-Surgical-Robotics.html ), dated 2025-09-30, names IQ Capital and 1540 Ventures as leads and a detailed participant list without Angular. Its MRI-compatible robotic placement of neurostimulation leads is directly relevant to neurotechnology, but Angular participation remains unverified. The announcement says $3.75M of the $8.1M total was converted notes; initial close was June 2025. Do not treat the snapshot as a verified Angular neurotech track record. Nonappearance in the release alone does not conclusively exclude an undisclosed investor.
- **Shimmer:** Snapshot's cited reporting identifies other investors, not Angular; [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/10/shimmer-a-platform-for-11-personalized-adhd-coaching-raises-2-2m/ ), 2024-01-10, names Worklife, Seed to B, Aglaé, Koa and Gaingels. Independently described in [Gaebler transaction record](https://www.gaebler.com/VC-Funding-ACAB8AED-DC2F-477E-9376-A2B88181B09F-Shimmer-01-10-2024 ), undated, accessed 2026-10-06. ADHD coaching is mental-health/neurodiversity adjacent; no neural measurement, stimulation or interface was established. Neither attribution nor direct neurotech classification is verified.
## Conflicts, gaps and later Adex review
1. Review the snapshot's firm investment attributions individually. Do not carry over the 61 rows as a verified portfolio. Rows sourced to a different firm's Goldilocks page are especially weak; pre-2018 entries such as Side (2017) need vehicle/prior-firm checks.
2. Consolidation candidates include Scorable/Scorable AI, steadybit's two 2024 entries, Vault/Vault Platform, Datos/Datos Health and Firebolt/Firebolt Analytics. Similar names alone do not authorize merging records.
3. The Jurnee row cites an Angular Portchain announcement. Flag it as a source/entity mismatch requiring direct verification.
4. Correct/clarify Beebop's snapshot $6M round against the issuer's $5.5M amount; preserve posted date September 12 versus announcement dateline September 11. DUST's 2018 snapshot has $2M roundAmount versus $2.3M amount; confirm seed total before repair.
5. Keep partner/prior-firm investments separate. The founder's 2021 retrospective explicitly calls Snyk, JFrog, Front, SiSense and Innovid **pre-Angular** investments. Firm-level marketing of a combined track record does not transfer those deals to Angular funds.
6. Fund III's actual legal final-close date, additional vehicle sizes, current AUM, portfolio ownership and deal-level Angular check amounts are missing. No later core fund was verified. The 2025 up-to-$6M figure differs from the current usual $500K–$5M range in scope and should retain that qualifier.
7. Prefer official London/Tel Aviv geography over Signal's Copenhagen label, with source/date; do not reproduce Signal duplicate roles or zero check defaults blindly.
8. Revisit the AiM and Shimmer attributions before any neurotech tagging. This document recommends review only; it does not request or perform database/MCP Patch changes.
All linked sources were checked on 2026-10-06. Dated publications are specified inline. Undated official strategy, Signal, portfolio and directory pages use the access date; inaccessible material and search-index-only evidence are explicitly distinguished above. SHOW MORE

# Angular Ventures
- Exact Adex ID: `AngularVentures`
- Canonical Adex URL: https://adex.page/firms/AngularVentures

Angular Ventures is an inception-stage investor in technical founders originating in Europe and Israel, generally pursuing US markets. Verified examples span photonic computing, nanomaterial authentication, nuclear plant engineering and electromagnetic space launch. Its latest-known announced core fund is the $125 million Fund III. No verified neurotech investment found in the sources checked; two relevant-looking snapshot entries have material attribution problems.
## Starting evidence: Adex and NFX Signal
The exact-ID saved snapshot, `data/research/_sources/AngularVentures.adex.json`, was retrieved on 2026-10-06 at 19:29:44 UTC using read-only Adex Search. It describes London headquarters, a Tel Aviv outpost, inception-stage deep-technology enterprise founders and a 2018 founding. It contains 61 investment participation entries, null firm check-size fields, duplicated David Peterson roles, and numerous investment leads; snapshot claims are starting evidence, not verification. Baseline sources include the official site, Signal and Goldilocks. Several records cite other firms' Goldilocks pages, including CAST AI/H (Creandum), RISC Zero (Bain Capital Crypto) and Noom (Sequoia), making independent firm attribution essential.
[NFX Signal firm profile](https://signal.nfx.com/firms/angular-ventures ), undated, was directly read without authentication on 2026-10-06. It lists Copenhagen as firm location, conflicting with the official London HQ. Gil Dibner has a $1M sweet spot and $100K–$10M range; David Peterson has a $2.5M sweet spot and $500K–$5M range, with pre-seed/seed DeepTech, EnergyTech, manufacturing and biotech tags. Gil's tags include seed/Series A enterprise and AI. Signal also displays a second David Peterson entry and zero-valued ranges for several team profiles. Intro paths require Gmail sign-in. Profile numbers are personal directory claims, not fund commitments or guaranteed current firm ranges; zero values should not be treated as actual mandates.
## Fund size and status
All amounts below are USD. They represent individual fund commitments, not company financing rounds or AUM.

The announcement presents an established fund, not merely a target, but does not specify its legal final-closing date. |
Fund III is the latest-known core fund found after searches for subsequent funds through the research date. The [IVC-GNY-KPMG 2024 investors report](https://www.ivc-online.com/Portals/0/RC/Investors%20Report%20%28MAF%29/IVC-GNY-KPMG_INVESTORS_REPORT_2024_final.pdf ) categorizes its $125M capital raising under 2024, while the public announcement is February 2025. Preserve both dates; publication date and fund vintage need not coincide. The three core sizes sum arithmetically to $246M, but that is **not verified current AUM**. Additional vehicles are mentioned by the firm, without sizes in the checked primary announcement.
A secondary [Marketcast Select Fund II filing summary](https://marketcast.smartkarma.com/company/angular-ventures-select-fund-ii-lp ), accessed 2026-10-06, reports an August 14, 2025 Form D with a $25M offering and $0 sold. This is an unverified regulatory lead, not evidence of a $25M closed fund; primary SEC filing and subsequent sales need review before inclusion in Adex.
## Stages and check sizes
The current undated [How we invest](https://angularventures.com/how-we-invest ), directly read 2026-10-06, states inception stage, preferably the first institutional round, often before revenue/product/company formation, usually leading or co-leading. It permits follow-on investing throughout a company's life. Initial checks are usually $500K–$5M. Geographic focus is European/Israeli founder or company origins and planned US go-to-market, regardless of incorporation.
The February 2025 [Fund III announcement](https://angularventures.com/essays/15 ) separately allows first checks up to $6M, and identifies London HQ and Tel Aviv outpost. This is a maximum-versus-usual-range distinction, not necessarily a contradiction. Historic Fund II first checks of $100K–$3M in the [2021 founder announcement](https://medium.com/angularventures/building-angular-ventures-bc7c90ffa952 ) should not override the current mandate. Series A participation in portfolio companies is verified below, but does not establish a broad current Series A entry strategy.
## Named previous deep-tech investments
Amounts are entire company rounds where known; Angular's individual commitment is undisclosed.
| Company | Technology and classification rationale | Firm attribution / dated financing evidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **DUST Identity** | Synthetic nanodiamond material with randomized physical signatures and optical sensing for object authentication; materials/nanoengineering rather than ordinary identity SaaS. | Angular founder explicitly discusses its investment and MIT/DARPA-derived technology in [A security layer for the physical world](https://medium.com/angularventures/a-security-layer-for-the-physical-world-b4f69bc0cd0b ), 2018-11-23. [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/17/dust-identity-secures-10m-series-a-to-identify-objects-with-diamond-dust/ ), 2019-07-17, names Angular in the $10M Series A. |
| **LightSolver** | Coupled-laser photonic computation for difficult optimization; quantum-inspired optical computation, not proof that it is a qubit computer. | Official company [launch press release PDF](https://lightsolver.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/LightSolver-Launch-PR_FINAL-FINAL.docx.pdf ), path dated May 2023 (exact release date not established), names Angular among investors. Search-index content was accessible; direct PDF open failed. [Angular portfolio newsletter](https://newsletter.angularventures.com/p/partnering-founders-hardest-things ), September 2024, independently presents LightSolver as portfolio and reports €12.5M EIC support. That support is not Angular's check or a verified Angular-led round. |
| **Blue Energy** | Modular nuclear power plants manufactured in shipyards; substantial engineering, safety and deployment challenges justify hard/deep-tech classification. | Company announcement syndicated by [citybiz](https://www.citybiz.co/article/610059/blue-energy-secures-45m-funding/ ), 2024-10-08, identifies $45M Series A co-led by Engine Ventures and At One Ventures, with Angular participating. [Official Angular essay](https://angularventures.com/essays/28 ), 2025-11-10, explicitly calls Blue Energy a portfolio company. Not an Angular-led Series A. |
| **Moonshot Space** | Electromagnetic/hypersonic payload acceleration and orbital launch; a demanding physics/materials/engineering development project. | [Official Angular investment account](https://newsletter.angularventures.com/p/pioneering-a-better-space-launch-system-why-we-invested-in-moonshot ), 2025-12-16, says Angular led $2.5M pre-seed alongside Fred Simon, then participated in a recently announced $12M seed. It does not precisely date the pre-seed transaction. [Globes](https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-electromagnetic-launch-co-moonshot-space-raises-12m-1001528062 ), 2025-12-01, says $12M raised including a $1M Israel Innovation Authority grant. Preserve the grant/equity distinction and check whether the reported $12M is cumulative or the new financing before creating a round. | SHOW MORE
