About Daniel Ek

Daniel Ek, through his venture firm Prima Materia, invests €1 billion of personal wealth in early-stage European "moonshot" deep tech companies solving major problems in defense/AI, healthtech, longevity, and climate. The firm typically acts as a founding or sole investor with exceptionally large early-stage checks, including €100M for defense startup Helsing (Series A) and €30M for healthtech company Neko Health before external rounds. Ek’s distinctive thesis focuses on building long-term European infrastructure and dependency moats in categories like AI-operated combat drones and preventative health scanning, rather than pursuing traditional venture exits. Notable portfolio companies include Helsing (valued at €12B), Neko Health ($325M total funding), Epiterna (longevity), and Northvolt (climate/energy).
