The firm's investment strategy, primarily focused on Seed to Series A rounds, targets companies with initial tickets ranging from €1 million to €5 million, predominantly across Europe.
The Extantia team comprises experienced partners, principals, and investment professionals with diverse backgrounds in venture capital, climate technology, and impact.
