Merantix Capital is a Berlin-based venture capital firm and venture studio investing in AI-native companies across Europe, from the pre-idea stage through pre-seed and Seed. It focuses on applied AI embedded in industry workflows, including healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, logistics, energy, enterprise software, finance, robotics and physical AI. Its model combines direct investments in independently formed startups with company creation: the studio helps founders validate business cases, find co-founders and talent, develop early AI applications, reach customers and raise financing. Portfolio founders can draw on the wider Merantix Group ecosystem, including the Berlin AI Campus, London AI Hub, corporate design partners and Merantix Momentum’s engineering and enterprise AI expertise. The firm publishes a usual investment range of EUR500,000 to EUR4 million, which describes its strategy rather than any particular investment. The legal operator of the Capital website and fund manager is Merantix Fund Management GmbH, Berlin commercial register HRB254046B; the wider Merantix Group and its services businesses are distinct entities.
