Elad Verbin is a founding partner, Chief Scientist, and General Partner at Lunar Ventures, a Berlin-based deep-tech venture capital firm he co-founded in 2019 with a background as a computer scientist and Ph.D. holder from Tel Aviv University. He invests in pre-seed and seed-stage European startups building algorithm-based global companies, specifically targeting sectors like Machine Learning, Cryptography, Decentralized systems, Databases, and Simulations that carry significant technology risk. The firm typically writes initial checks ranging from €750,000 to €1 million, with a sweet spot around $700,000, focusing on technical founders solving essential problems. Notable portfolio companies where Verbin serves as an investor or board observer include Zama, ElectricSQL, deepset, and Zenithon AI. Verbin distinguishes his approach by describing Lunar Ventures as a "Tel-Aviv style VC" that runs technical operations for technical people to back computer science moonshots. He actively shares his perspective on investing in technical founders through public talks, such as his presentation titled "You are an Investor (even if you don't know it)".
