Summary
Berlin-based venture capital firm Robin Capital has closed its second fund at €15 million, according to EU-Startups, bringing total commitments across its two early-stage funds to €30 million. Robin Capital Fund II follows the firm's first €15 million vehicle, which closed in 2024. The fund has already completed 17 investments, including SkySpy.ai, Marble Imaging and Helicity Space, which operate across intelligence, defence, Earth observation and space technology.
The firm was founded in 2023 by entrepreneur and investor Robin Haak, who serves as Founder and General Partner. Robin Capital focuses on pre-Seed and Seed-stage investments in European startups, with particular interest in AI, enterprise software, robotics, defence, space and DeepTech. It typically invests between €100k and €600k per company and does not follow strict sector boundaries, instead targeting founders addressing large markets. The firm operates under a Solo General Partner model, with Haak leading investment decisions while drawing on venture partners, limited partners and more than 100 experienced operators. Its limited partner base includes entrepreneurs, unicorn founders, technology executives and family offices. Beyond its two early-stage funds, the firm has established three growth special purpose vehicles supporting ARX Robotics, Almetra and Ground A.
Haak's background includes co-founding Jobspotting in 2013, which later became part of SmartRecruiters, where he served as Global COO and Managing Director; SmartRecruiters was subsequently acquired by SAP. He previously worked in M&A at Axel Springer, co-founded Axel Springer Plug & Play, made the first institutional investment in German fintech N26, and served as a General Partner at Revaia. Over the past decade he has invested in more than 60 companies, including seven unicorns such as N26, Algolia, Aircall and Coralogix.
The close comes amid a cluster of European early-stage VC fund announcements in 2026. Munich-based Vanagon Ventures closed a €20 million fund targeting pre-Seed AI and DeepTech startups, Berlin-based Angel Invest and Auxxo secured €40 million and €33.3 million, Barcelona's Masia closed €18 million, Monaco's Monte Carlo Capital reached a €13 million first close for its second DeepTech and SpaceTech fund, and Belgium's NewSchool VC closed €10 million. Together with Nuremberg-based ZOHO.VC's €7 million first close, these announcements total €141.3 million, rising to €156.3 million including Robin Capital's new fund.
Looking ahead, Robin Capital plans a third €15 million early-stage fund, with the ambition of managing three such vehicles and backing approximately 80 to 90 startups in total. The firm is also considering a dedicated growth continuity fund to support selected portfolio companies as they scale.
