Airbus Ventures

About

We are the Venture Capital arm of Airbus, proudly inheriting the Adaptive Innovation, Systems Thinking, and International Mindset that distinguish our mothership Airbus, an aerospace upstart since its own beginnings. Building on this heritage we always aim to deeply support our portfolio companies, so that once invested, we can better understand, team and promote our portfolio Founders businesses to the Airbus worldwide network of partnering opportunities. Operating with substantive independence and autonomy vis--vis our Airbus mothership, we can also pace and co-invest with traditional top-tier Venture Capital firms, meeting their exacting expectations for financial discipline, speed of diligence and execution, and robust returns.
