About Netz Capital
Public sources do not agree on who Netz Capital is, so treat the details below with caution. Messari describes it as a venture firm founded by Luca Netz that invests in direct-to-consumer brands, SaaS and technology startups. Crunchbase has a separate Netz Capital entry. It is marked closed, based in Mumbai, and described as a venture fund and advisory business. A third database lists a Mumbai private equity firm founded in 2005 and says no founders, partners or investment committee members have been disclosed. These records may describe different organizations. We could not confirm a founding date, a partner who leads AI investing, or a team page for the firm that backed the companies below. Crunchbase lists one fund, Netz Select, but its size is not visible in the sources we reviewed.
The AI deals tied to Netz Capital are all seed rounds in security for AI systems. Attestable is building technology to verify the behavior of AI systems using zero-knowledge cryptography. It was founded in 2025 by three mathematicians, and its seed was led by TLV Partners and Altimeter Capital, with Netz Capital participating. AIR Security makes a context firewall that vets the skills, plugins and add-ons AI agents use. Dealroom lists Luca Netz, as an individual, among the investors in AIR's seed round, alongside Sequoia and Greenoaks. Netz Capital appears to join rounds led by others rather than lead them, though the sources do not say so outright. Crunchbase counts three Netz Capital investments in total.
