These are real, verified funds with an applied AI line in their thesis – ticket ranges and fund sizes shown only where the fund has actually disclosed them. Ranked by data completeness and stage relevance.

Invests directly through Digital Venture (seed/Series A) and Large Venture (a €2.5B vehicle for rounds above €20M), with a portfolio including Doctolib and Owkin.
Omnes Capital
A French private-assets manager with over €6.7B under management, whose dedicated vehicle Omnes Real Tech backed The Exploration Company, Sekoia.io, Quandela and Quantum Systems. Writes initial cheques of €5-7M into 20-25 early-growth companies with revenue or a filled order book.
