About this Event

Tern provides venture capital to European IoT companies, with proven technology, a commercial track record and significant cornerstone customers that can be grown substantially over a three to five-year period.

We predominantly invest in software companies which develop commercial IoT security, enablement and analytics solutions for the healthcare and industrial sectors, where safety and regulatory compliance are important market requirements.

Unlike many of our peers, we invest in only a handful of companies in a given period. This means we have the time to be a committed and hands on partner, invariably taking an active position on the Board of our investments.

Would you like to learn thorough insights about investing in IoT and Deeptech startups? And even more, to receive startup advice and possibly investment from Tern’s team? Then you must join us on Thursday, February 11th with your pitch prepared to impress Matthew Scherba, the Investment Director of Tern.
