Herius Capital

Herius Capital is a pioneering European venture capital firm based in Budapest, Hungary, specializing in space and aviation technology investments to bolster the Central and Eastern European space ecosystem. Founded as a thematic private equity and venture capital fund, it focuses on early-stage pioneers that create societal and commercial value for humanity in the short- to mid-term, with a team of 11-50 employees and last notable activity in 2023. The firm has made targeted investments, including a follow-on in French spacetech startup Leanspace (€6 million seed round in 2022 to digitalize space industry infrastructure via cloud services) and backing German spinoff OKAPI:Orbits (€5.5 million seed for space traffic management), alongside portfolio company Hedron ($17.8M raised). Their investment philosophy emphasizes modern software tools and critical enabling infrastructure for the space sector, aligning with visions of a digitalized future, as articulated by Managing Partner Dr. Kornél Szabó, while pursuing opportunities globally despite a CEE focus.[1][2][4][5]
