About Faber

Faber is a Lisbon-based deep tech venture firm with an early-stage mandate that historically spans climate, ocean, and frontier technology themes, with selective forays into computational health and bio-adjacent tools. The faber.vc website, LinkedIn, and Twitter presence confirm an active European investor with a science-led thesis. For healthcare AI founders, Faber is a credible match only if your work sits at the intersection of computation, biology, and frontier science: protein modeling, computational drug discovery, biological data infrastructure, or AI-driven medical imaging at the deeper end of the stack. Founders building digital health apps, telehealth services, or healthcare workflow SaaS should look elsewhere; this is a deep tech investor, not a vertical SaaS investor. Plausible check sizes run 500K to 3M at seed and Series A, with capacity to lead or co-lead in European rounds. Geography matters: Faber leads with Iberia, expanding across Europe, and is unlikely to lead a US-anchored round. Entry path is LinkedIn outreach to partners (the firm has identifiable senior partners on LinkedIn) and through their portfolio CEOs. Faber participates actively in European deep tech and bio events; conference introductions work. The diligence will be technically substantive; bring your scientific co-founder, validation data, and a clear-eyed view of regulatory path. Do not pitch consumer health or pure software workflows. Pitch the science, the moat, and why Europe is the right place to build it. Faber rewards founders who can defend the underlying biology or computation, not just the go-to-market.
