Onsight Ventures

Tyrol's first VC, spun out of Hermann Hauser's family office: 5 quantum bets in a 17-company deep tech portfolio (Kipu, QuantumDiamonds, ZuriQ, Q.ANT, zerothird), always co-investing behind specialist leads.

Active Innsbruck, AustriaFounded 2021

Investment thesis

Innsbruck-based deep tech VC, the first venture firm in Tyrol, founded in 2021 by Jasmin Güngör and Klaus Grössinger as a spin-off from the Hermann Hauser Family Office.

Backs European university spin-outs at seed (with selective Series A) across four verticals: new compute, quantum technology, AI, and techbio; initial checks of EUR 200K-1M from a EUR 13M first fund.

Quantum is a core vertical, not a side bet: 5 of ~17 disclosed positions (Kipu Quantum, QuantumDiamonds, ZuriQ, Q.ANT, zerothird) span quantum software, sensing, trapped ions, photonic processing and QKD.

Scaling up: Fund II targets EUR 150M for 'critical technologies' with a reported EUR 35M EIF commitment, backed by an advisory board featuring Hermann Hauser (Acorn/ARM) and BioNTech co-founder Christoph Huber.

Anti-thesis

The patterns that trigger a fast no with this fund.

  1. Small fund, small checks: Fund I closed at EUR 13M with EUR 200K-1M initial tickets, so Onsight will not lead or defend your round; you still need a lead
  2. Fund II's EUR 150M target is announced, not closed, and deployment timing from the new vehicle (registered May 2026) is unproven
  3. The Hauser name opens doors but he sits on the advisory board, not the investment committee
  4. Across all verified quantum deals, Onsight has been a follower; if you need a price-setter or deep reserves through Series B, look elsewhere
