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 investment stages
| Evidence | Amount and status | Interpretation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Official firm announcement](https://www.portfolion.com/investment-story/portfo-lion-to-launch-huf-25-bln-private-equity-fund/ ), 2020-10-20 | Regional Private Equity Fund II: HUF 25 billion starting capital, equally provided by Eximbank and OTP Bank; announcement says the fund is set to launch. | A named vehicle and announced starting capitalization. This source alone is not a final-close confirmation. |
| [Firm's LinkedIn profile](https://cz.linkedin.com/company/portfolionvc ), undated, accessed 2026-10-06 | $800M+ currently managed across multiple funds. | Self-reported aggregate AUM; not one VC fund, not a target and not a check size. |
| [Mirsanu speaker biography](https://mirsanu.ro/peter-mathe-investment-manager-portfolion-speaker-mirsanu-investors-summit-2026/ ), 2026-06-29, source attributed to Portfolion | Over €750M AUM. | Latest dated AUM statement located; no common valuation date or FX basis to reconcile with $800M+. |
| [Official Uvionix article](https://www.portfolion.com/investment-story/uvionix-seed/ ), 2025-02-10 | Roughly €450M assets managed. | Older platform figure. |
| [Scaleup Fest biography](https://thescaleupfest.com/speakers/mark-palfalvi ), event 2025-09-10 | €440M AUM. | Older event bio, possibly stale; cannot infer a decline from the €450M number. |
Searches for newer 2025/2026 fund launches did not locate a sufficiently clear current individual VC fund final-close amount. Thus HUF 25B is a historical named-fund announcement, not the firm's latest fund size. A later reviewer should obtain vehicle-level disclosures before entering a current fund figure. OTP financial tables distinguish share capital, carrying value and shareholder equity; these should not be silently converted into fundraising amounts.
The [official website](https://www.portfolion.com/ ) (undated, accessed 2026-10-06) currently specifies:
- Venture capital: sector agnostic, CEE, pre-seed and seed; €500k–€3M investment size.
- Growth equity: sector agnostic, CEE, Series B, Series C and partial buyout; €3M–€40M investment size.
- Private equity: digital technologies and agriculture, CEE, established enterprises; €5M–€40M investment size.
These are investment ticket ranges, not fund commitments. The homepage's animated counters rendered “0” and “2026” in text extraction, so its AUM/founding counters were unusable. The ranges above come from explicit strategy text. [Startup Hungary's event page](https://www.startuphungary.io/past-events/first-monday-with-kodesage-portfolion ) (event 2025-02-10) says second/third generation funds were active, with VC €500k–€3M and growth €3M–€30M: the older growth maximum differs from the current website. Historical Series A investments do not override the present early-stage mandate.

Imported completed research. Baseline Adex/Signal statements describe prior state, not independent verification. Retain cited attribution, date, currency and classification caveats.
**No verified neurotech investment found in the sources checked.** Searches combining Portfolion with neurotech, brain and neuroscience, alongside the snapshot and official portfolio leads, did not identify a directly attributable BCI, neural implant, neural sensing/stimulation or comparable investment. This is a bounded research result, not a statement that none exists.
**Mindgram:** Portfolion's [official announcement](https://www.portfolion.com/investment-story/mindgram-seed-investment/ ) (2022-04-05) confirms participation in a €7M seed round for a B2B emotional/mental wellbeing platform providing support for stress, burnout and depression. It does not describe neural devices, brain measurement or neurostimulation. Keep this as mental-health adjacency. The saved snapshot includes an undated pre-seed entry and a 2024 entry; this primary seed announcement does not verify Portfolion's pre-seed participation. [Mindgram's own Polish announcement](https://mindgram.com/pl/blog/zamkniecie-rundy-seed/ ) (2022) refers to a fast pre-seed decision by **Market One Capital**, which should not be transferred to Portfolion.
Oncompass is precision oncology rather than a verified neural technology company. General AI and computer vision investments likewise provide no neurotech attribution.
## Conflicts, missing information and concrete Adex review notes
1. Preserve exact ID `GoldiPortfoLionCapitalPartners`; “Goldi” is the existing identifier prefix, not part of the investor's display name. Do not merge with similarly named Portfolia.
2. Keep $800M+ as firm self-reported aggregate AUM, with retrieval date and caveat; do not use Goldilocks's single “Fund Size” field as an individual fund. Retain €750M+ as a dated 2026 comparison. Current vehicle-level fund sizes, final-close dates and deployable capital remain missing.
3. Review Uvionix for 2025-02-10, $3.5M seed and co-lead status; Deligo for 2022-05-18, €1.5M seed and lead status. Add Commsignia and historical Oncompass only after later authorized review.
4. Review Mindgram's seed/pre-seed attribution. Its verified 2022 investment is mental-health software adjacency, not a direct neurotech investment. Later-round dates/stages remain outside primary verification here.
5. The saved SEON participation dated 2025-09-16 says $94M, while its cited source URL names $80M Series C. Goldilocks repeats the mismatch. The $94M figure is separately attached to 2022 in the saved data and Startup Hungary's history. Do not propagate the 2025 amount before checking that release directly.
6. Team biographies contain investments from prior careers; Portfolion transactions here rely on organizational portfolio pages or deal announcements. In particular Aurél Pásztor's Day One history is not blanket evidence that all his personal past deals belong to Portfolion. The snapshot also lists both Mihály Zsolt and Zsolt Mihály, a possible duplicate identity needing separate review.
7. Official sources establish investment attribution but mostly omit the exact legal fund vehicle, check amounts and investment ownership. Deligo and Riptides deep-tech labels require discretion; scientific novelty and technical IP were not independently assessed. No firm-specific Signal profile was found.

# PortfoLion Capital Partners
- Exact Adex ID: `GoldiPortfoLionCapitalPartners`
- Canonical Adex URL: https://adex.page/firms/GoldiPortfoLionCapitalPartners
- Research date and source access date: 2026-10-06
- Status: research complete; research only, no Adex changes.
PortfoLion is a Budapest-based, OTP Group-backed investor founded in 2010. It operates venture capital, growth equity and private equity strategies focused on Central and Eastern Europe. Verified investments include autonomous warehouse robotics, V2X connected-vehicle technology, machine vision and precision oncology. No verified neurotech investment found in the sources checked. Mindgram is a verified mental-health investment, but the evidence supports a services platform rather than neural interfaces or brain technology. Identity and founding information are corroborated by the firm's company profile and a 2026 event biography attributed to Portfolion ([LinkedIn company profile](https://cz.linkedin.com/company/portfolionvc ), undated; [Mirsanu biography](https://mirsanu.ro/peter-mathe-investment-manager-portfolion-speaker-mirsanu-investors-summit-2026/ ), 2026-06-29).
## Starting evidence and NFX Signal
The exact-ID snapshot `data/research/_sources/GoldiPortfoLionCapitalPartners.adex.json`, retrieved 2026-10-06, contains one matching record. It describes $800M+ managed across funds and a pre-seed-through-buyout strategy. Investor check fields are empty. Its 21 participations include Uvionix, Deligo, Mindgram, OneSoil, SEON, Tresorit, FLOWX.AI, Yieldigo, Renewabl and commercial software/education companies. Much of the snapshot originates in Goldilocks or earlier research, rather than primary announcements. The [Goldilocks profile](https://goldi.ai/intelligence/vc/portfolion ) (undated) reproduces the summary but misleadingly labels $800M as “Fund Size”; its SEON 2025 row also repeats a $94M figure associated with 2022. Treat that feed as discovery evidence.
No NFX URL is saved. Targeted searches of `signal.nfx.com` for Portfolion/PortfoLion and team members Márk Pálfalvi, Daniel Kiss-Kiraly and Aurel Pasztor returned generic Signal directory pages and unrelated results, with no attributable firm or team profile. The [Signal directory](https://signal.nfx.com/ ) was search-index accessible, but a firm-specific profile was not identified or directly read. Signal supplies no usable mandate, fund-size or transaction evidence here; lack of a search result does not establish absence from Signal.

## Named previous deep-tech investments
Classification below is an analyst inference from the described technology, not a claim that every company or Portfolion itself uses the label. Round totals are syndicate totals, not Portfolion's individual contribution.
| Company | Technology and classification rationale | Firm attribution, stage/date and amount | Sources |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Uvionix / UVIONIX** | Autonomous flying warehouse robots, AI navigation and inventory capture; clear robotics/hardware deep-tech example. | $3.5M seed round co-led by Portfolion and LAUNCHub, announced 2025-02-10. Individual checks undisclosed. | [Official Portfolion investment announcement](https://www.portfolion.com/investment-story/uvionix-seed/ ), 2025-02-10. This supplies the date, round amount and co-lead attribution absent from the snapshot. |
| **Commsignia** | Vehicle-to-Everything communications and connected road infrastructure; physical-world communications technology and real-time cooperative sensor data make this a strong deep-tech example. | Company announced a closed $15M Series B on 2023-09-05, led by PortfoLion, Inventure, Day One Capital and Inference Partners. Individual Portfolion check undisclosed. | [Commsignia-issued PRWeb release](https://www.prweb.com/releases/commsignia-announces-funding-of-usd-15m-in-series-b-round-301917550.html ), 2023-09-05; [co-investor confirmation](https://www.inferencepartners.com/post/commsignia-series-b ), September 2023. Not in the saved participation list, but directly attributed by the investee. |
| **Deligo Vision Technologies** | ML image recognition identifies plated dishes for automated restaurant checkout; applied computer-vision/hardware deployment. Relevant deep-tech candidate, though research novelty is not independently established. | Portfolion led €1.5M seed, with Oktogon Ventures and angels; official article dated 2022-05-18. Individual check undisclosed. | [Official seed announcement](https://www.portfolion.com/investment-story/deligo-seed/ ), 2022-05-18. This establishes organizational investment, without relying on partner biography attribution. |
| **Oncompass** | Precision oncology combining molecular diagnostics, genetic testing and AI therapy selection; biotech/diagnostics deep-tech candidate, not neurotechnology. | Official portfolio says invested in 2012 and exited in 2020. Round stage, amount and legal investing vehicle not stated. | [Official Oncompass portfolio page](https://www.portfolion.com/company/oncompass/ ), undated, accessed 2026-10-06. Not in the saved participation list. |
**Borderline technical software:** [Riptides](https://www.portfolion.com/investment-story/riptides-seed/ ) (official, 2025-04-23) replaces API keys/passwords with rotating cryptographic non-human identities. Portfolion and Kaya VC led $3.3M pre-seed. This is a verified cybersecurity infrastructure investment; proprietary security research makes it a possible technical fit, but cryptography-based enterprise software alone does not prove deep-tech status. The snapshot's `amount: USD 3300000` is the total round, not a verified Portfolion check. Similarly, ordinary SaaS/education platforms such as deskbird, Novakid and Coding Giants should not be counted as deep tech solely because they use AI.
