An elite generation of founders are solving the world’s hardest problems and building the technologies that will shape Europe’s future across our most critical industries. The crux of Plural's founding thesis is starting to play out: non-obvious, hard companies matter.

[Ian Hogarth @soundboy]

1/ Today, @pluralplatform is investing $10.25m into @CallosumAI, a startup building a new class of company to enable more diverse, powerful and efficient compute, unlocking entirely new kinds of AI systems and discoveries that today’s hardware paradigm will never deliver.

[Callosum @CallosumAI]

The future of compute & AI is heterogeneous.

That future is being built by Callosum.

Today we launch with new breakthroughs made possible by heterogeneity, new scaling principles & a roadmap reimagining compute & AI infrastructure:

February 24th is 🇪🇪Estonian Independence Day.

Sadly it also marks four years since Russia entered full scale war against 🇺🇦Ukraine.

It’s a day to remember that freedoms are precious and fragile. And a day to act:

[Ian Hogarth @soundboy]

1/ Europe can lead in hypersonics - if it builds differently and builds faster. That’s why I led @pluralplatform’s investment into @HypersonicaGmbH’s €23 million Series A

[Plural @pluralplatform]

“You just need one or two extraordinary individuals who have the talent to end up in the situation where they could build a trillion-dollar company and who are willing to keep going."

@soundboy spoke to @richardtyler in @thetimes about the next generation of UK tech winners.

[Plural @pluralplatform]

Repeat founders, world-class experience and unstoppable ambition - @andreasklinger's spotlight on @sunriserobots and @tomazstolfa perfectly encapsulates the seriously tough missions Europe is tackling right now 🔥

[Plural @pluralplatform]

“Have you ever thought of European venture as a geopolitical-macro-hedge?” @drnovac interviews @seikatsu in this week’s Sunday CET on ambition, sovereignty and betting on the non-obvious: https://t.co/wbLqHfJDYq

[Plural @pluralplatform]

The UK has an edge in quantum, with world class talent and startups like @PhasecraftLtd. Now, they have an opportunity to build, not sell. @soundboy and Phasecraft's @quantumashley spoke to the @FT’s @johngapper about the importance of staying independent: https://t.co/50MYLQ0Mww

[Viraj Acharya @_virajacharya]

the reason I love the @pluralplatform thesis comes down to one line - " Non-obvious hard companies matter."

[Viraj Acharya @_virajacharya]

"Every fund in America is right now like American dynamism. It's like, you know, robotics, hardware" @andreasklinger, @prototype_cap

The word European Dynamism will be in your vocabulary in 2026.

"There's very good funds in Europe, that are hardware investing on large scale. Like @pluralplatform is a very good one, for example, in my opinion, they're going to be one of the best funds in Europe."

Plural's Partners

For @andreasklinger it's like the future founders fund of Europe, basically, you know, very opinionated & GDP driven"

[taavet hinrikus @taavet]

1/ Very excited to share that @pluralplatform is leading a $60 million Series A in @CoMind_, the startup building breakthrough optical sensing technology to revolutionise brain monitoring and treatment.

[taavet hinrikus @taavet]

1/ @pluralplatform is leading a $50m Series C round for @StarshipRobots, the autonomous delivery company founded by two of Europe’s most iconic builders - @ahtih and Janus Friis.

[Plural @pluralplatform]

"If you look at Eastern flank doctrine, you talk about total defence. When something happens, the entire population joins in. What's the tech stack for that?"

@seikatsu on startups like Labrys building the solutions that defence needs, speaking at @TallinnSummit.

[Plural @pluralplatform]

The Generalist's @mariogabriele sat down w/ CEO @salar for an unmissable conversation about @BuildMonumental’s mission to shake the construction industry out of its decades-long stagnation to make beautiful buildings faster with robots:

[Ian Hogarth @soundboy]

1/ @pluralplatform is co-leading a $31m Series B for quantum software startup @PhasecraftLtd, alongside @Playground_VC and @Novonordisk. Europe needs to define new branches of the tech tree to create companies to rival the US and China, here’s why I think Phasecraft can do it:

[Eliza Dabney @edabs]

Why Europe now: unfettered ambition, innovation and talent🔥(turn it up 🔊)

[Andreas Klinger 🦾 @andreasklinger]

“AC this, wash dryer that, US woohoo, EU boohoo” - Why are we eating this brand-warfare from the outside about us up?

Europe has the strongest precision manufacturing in the world, we have leading teams in AI, CV, robotics. Europe is a leader in Automation and Frontier Tech!

Not a single NVIDIA chip could be produced without European machines. Not a single American cloud, robotics, or deep-tech firm would operate without European manufacturing or suppliers.

But we are too humble. Brainwashed to never celebrate Europe. By outsiders and our local politicians.

Time for a change.

Europe is the birthplace of industrialization.
The home of frontier tech.

Time, we act like it.

Welcome to the real Europe! 🔥🇪🇺

[Salar al Khafaji @salar]

We just delivered an ENTIRE BLOCK of 8 houses near in Assendelft (near Amsterdam).

All the brickwork was entirely done with a fleet of 5 of Monumental's robots (yes, including the corners) working together, a first in the world.

[Plural @pluralplatform]

“There’s a vibe shift in Europe - people are incredibly energised, they’re realising the depth of talent we have here, and the scar tissue among the founder community." @CarinaNamih talks about Europe in the AI race with @BloombergTV's @TomMackenzieTV https://t.co/1cJfHPikJe

[Khaled Helioui @KHelioui]

Only 3 years after launching @pluralplatform in the span of same week @proximafusion raises largest private investment in fusion for Europe (€130m), @HelsingAI demonstrates future of air warfare with Centaur operating a Gripen jet fighter & TEC readies Mission Possible launch
