United Founders VC has expanded its portfolio with investments in two European technology startups. The fund participated in a $4 million funding round for Berlin-based Agent F, which is developing AI-powered enterprise software. It also invested millions in Slovak-German company Continium Technologies, which develops semiconductor chips for radar systems and next-generation telecommunications networks. United Founders is also strengthening its presence in Germany, where entrepreneur Maximilian Schmidt has joined as a new Venture Partner.
Pan-European venture capital fund United Founders VC continues to invest in technology companies with ambitions to succeed in global markets. Its two latest investments target distinct but strategically important sectors: artificial intelligence and semiconductor technology.
While Berlin-based Agent F aims to radically simplify financial management for fast-growing businesses through AI, Continium Technologies is developing energy-efficient chips for the defence industry, radar systems and future 6G mobile networks.
Both investments reflect United Founders‘ strategy of backing European founders developing proprietary technologies with global potential. The fund focuses on early-stage companies, providing not only capital but also entrepreneurial expertise and access to an international network of investors and partners.
Agent F Raises $4 Million to Develop AI-Powered ERP Software
German AI startup Agent F has closed a $4 million pre-seed funding round. The round was led by Los Angeles-based investment firm Alpha Edison, with United Founders VC and London- and Berlin-based Tiny Supercomputer Investment Company also participating.
Other investors include Jan Oberhauser, founder of workflow automation platform n8n; Julian Teicke, co-founder of insurance startup wefox; and Jürgen Müller, former Chief Technology Officer of SAP.
Founded in Berlin in 2025 by Felix Schläger, Agent F addresses a challenge familiar to virtually every fast-growing business: as companies hire more employees, acquire more customers and expand into new markets, their administrative workload increases. Finance teams often spend a significant proportion of their time transferring data between spreadsheets, banking applications and accounting systems rather than focusing on strategic financial management.
How Does Agent F’s AI-Powered Enterprise Software Work?
Agent F is developing a new generation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that uses autonomous AI agents to automate accounting, financial controlling and planning. These software agents can carry out routine financial operations, interact with existing business tools and prepare information for accounting and reporting.
Every operation remains traceable, while the resulting outputs are subject to review and approval by a responsible professional. The objective is therefore not to replace finance specialists, but to free them up for decision-making and higher-value activities.
Unlike traditional ERP systems, which often require companies to adapt their processes through complex implementations, Agent F’s solution learns how a business actually operates. It can gradually expand alongside the company, whether it is entering new markets, adding legal entities or introducing new financial processes.
„For a long time, Europe watched big technology categories being born elsewhere. Enterprise software is one of the last places where the rules are being written from scratch again, so we are not chasing anyone here. I think this category will be won by whoever builds it first and best, and we want that to be someone from Europe. Agent F is a small team with a hunger for big success, and those are exactly the founders we look for,“ says Vít Horký, Founder and General Partner at United Founders VC.
Agent F currently has a team of ten, bringing experience from companies including Amazon, Snapchat and Interactive Brokers. The startup will initially focus on fast-growing German technology businesses before expanding into other European markets.
Continium Technologies Secures Investment from United Founders to Develop European Semiconductor Chips
United Founders‘ second investment targets the semiconductor industry. Slovak-German startup Continium Technologies has raised a total of CZK 61 million in a funding round, including a CZK 10 million investment from United Founders VC.
Continium develops a new generation of high-speed analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs). These specialised chips convert analogue signals, such as radio waves or electromagnetic reflections, into digital data that can be processed by computer systems.
Such components are essential to modern radar systems, telecommunications infrastructure, measurement equipment and other advanced electronic applications.
How Does Continium’s Semiconductor Technology Differ from Conventional Solutions?
Continium is developing its proprietary Continuous Time Sigma Delta (CTSD) architecture, which enables analogue signal filtering to be integrated directly into the chip. Compared with conventional solutions, this approach can reduce the need for external electronic components, lower power consumption and improve the accuracy of signal digitisation.
According to the company’s CEO, Jozef Bujnovský, Continium is initially targeting energy savings of 40% to 80% in selected applications. The technology could be used in advanced defence radar systems, where more accurate signal processing can help detect smaller and faster-moving objects, as well as in base stations for next-generation mobile networks, including future 6G infrastructure.
The new funding will primarily support the production of the first silicon chip samples, laboratory testing and preparations for commercial deliveries. Continium has already secured manufacturing partners through contractual agreements and, according to its management, is generating revenues in the hundreds of thousands of euros.
The company is also involved in international projects under the European Defence Fund and the Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) initiative, which supports strategic European projects, including those in microelectronics.
„Europe is investing billions of euros in defence, semiconductors and next-generation networks, yet it remains dependent on foreign suppliers for many critical chip technologies. Continium aims to develop a European alternative with performance that outperforms global competitors. For us, this is exactly the kind of deep tech investment we are looking for: exceptionally demanding technology, a strong team and a global market in which a European company can establish a strategic position,“ explains Václav Pavlečka, Managing Partner at United Founders VC.
What Do the Investments in Agent F and Continium Mean for United Founders?
Although Agent F and Continium operate in different technology sectors, both investments share an emphasis on proprietary innovation, international growth and solutions to challenges affecting the competitiveness of the European economy.
Agent F represents an opportunity to use artificial intelligence to increase business productivity and transform the established enterprise software market. Continium, meanwhile, is developing semiconductor technologies that could reduce European industry’s dependence on foreign suppliers of strategically important electronic components.
United Founders VC was established in 2025 by Vít Horký, together with Václav Pavlečka and Jakub Havrlant, and has a target fund size of €80 million. It focuses on early-stage startups, particularly in artificial intelligence, robotics, semiconductors, cybersecurity, medical technologies and quantum technologies.
A key element of its investment model is the Founders Force community, which brings together more than 160 European company founders whose businesses have a combined valuation exceeding €27 billion. These founders contribute their own capital, entrepreneurial expertise and professional networks, which portfolio companies can leverage to support their growth.
United Founders Strengthens Its Presence in Germany with New Venture Partner Maximilian Schmidt
Alongside its new investments, United Founders is expanding its presence in the German market. Maximilian Schmidt, co-founder and CEO of technology company KINEXON Sports, has joined the fund as its new Venture Partner in Munich.
KINEXON Sports develops real-time athlete tracking systems. According to United Founders, its technology is used by most NBA teams and leading European clubs, including FC Bayern Basketball.
Schmidt’s involvement (in picture on the right) with United Founders has developed gradually. He initially joined the Founders Force community before becoming one of the fund’s first German Limited Partners. He is now taking the partnership a step further by becoming a Venture Partner, while continuing to lead KINEXON Sports.
In his new role, Schmidt will identify promising technology startups in Munich and the surrounding region, strengthen relationships with local founders and investors, and help expand United Founders‘ investor base.
The two new investments, together with the expansion of the Munich team, mark another step in building United Founders‘ pan-European investment platform. The fund aims to provide European technology companies not only with financing, but also with the expertise of successful entrepreneurs and the connections they need to compete in global markets.
