This milestone supports metiundo’s mission to accelerate the rollout of smart submetering solutions for the housing industry – empowering property owners and tenants alike to manage energy more transparently and efficiently.

We’re proud to back the team on their journey to digitize energy infrastructure in multi-tenant buildings.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We’re getting close to the finish line – our fund will officially close to new investors at the end of June.

It’s been an exciting ride: strong momentum, a growing community of LPs, and real alignment around our mission. If you’ve been thinking about joining us, now’s the time.

At Vireo Ventures, we back ambitious founders driving the energy transition – but just as importantly, we’re building a network around them. Our LPs aren’t just names on a report. They’re experts, allies, and collaborators who share insights, challenge assumptions, and open doors.

Today, we’re proud to count nearly 70 energy-focused investors – private individuals, family offices, and corporates from across Europe – all united by a belief in the potential of an all-electrified world. This partnership model doesn’t just benefit the fund, it strengthens the ecosystem and improves the odds for early-stage companies navigating complex markets.

Our partner Felix recently wrote about this shift – how LPs and GPs are redefining what real collaboration looks like in venture, and how that’s reshaping the future of European energy tech. (We’ll share the full article in our next issue.)

That’s the kind of platform we’re building. And if that resonates, we’d love to talk.

🔋 Back from Intersolar Europe

We saw that spirit of collaboration in full force last week at Intersolar in Munich – and the energy sector is absolutely buzzing.

Between reconnecting with LPs like VERBUND and EnBW New Ventures, meeting new faces, and catching up with founders across the value chain, one thing was clear: this market is moving fast.

Over the course of three intense (and fun) days, we hosted around 60 startup pitches, a few logistics hiccups here and there, but overall a fantastic turnout and great momentum.

⚡ The Grid Returns

In parallel, we hosted the second edition of The Grid – our flagship side event, co-hosted with BRYCK.COM, World Fund, and HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds, and supported by rEnergy Partners, Enpulse , VERBUND, Shell Ventures, and VentureCapital Magazin.

More than 180+ people showed-up, and the energy in the room was electric. Huge thanks to everyone who made it happen.

🗞 In the Press

We were included in Sifted’s Q1 2025 ranking of the most active and influential VC and CVC investors in European tech. Always good to see energy tech getting the spotlight it deserves.
