Bird & Bird advises Vanagon Ventures on seed investment in Particula

Vanagon Ventures is a Munich-based venture capital fund seizing the early-stage investment opportunity for Digital DeepTech companies in the DACH region. Vanagon invests in top tech and industry experts who are driving European technological sovereignty with the most powerful digital tools available.

Particula is a leading provider of AI-driven risk intelligence for digital assets. By offering independent, data-driven insights, the company already empowers major financial institutions, leading issuers and several trading facilities, to assess digital assets with confidence, reinforcing its role as a key driver of trust and transparency in digital finance.

Besides Vanagon ventures, the funding round was led by SixThirty Ventures and Futury Capital, with participation from TX Ventures, Blackwood Ventures, Tenity, Blue Bay Ventures, Plug and Play Tech Center, and high-profile angel investors.

Axel Roitzsch, General Partner of Vanagon Ventures, commented: “With the financial system’s underlying technology being fundamentally redefined, the need for a resilient and trustworthy digital infrastructure has never been greater. We backed Particula at the pre-seed stage as their first investor, recognising their bold vision and strong execution - firmly believing they are poised to play a defining role in shaping and scaling the entire digital asset class. I sincerely thank Andrea Schlote and the whole Bird & Bird team, who supported us with great expertise, strategic and social finesse."
