Richard Breiter

Richard Breiter is a Co-founder and General Partner of PreSeed Ventures (which rebranded as "PSV"), Denmark's largest and one of its most established early-stage investors, founded in 2000 and based in the Copenhagen/Kongens Lyngby area. He is one of four general partners who came together to lead the PSV Tech fund, alongside Christel Piron, Helle Uth, and Alexander Viterbo-Horten. His firm profile notes roughly 12 years of investment experience, and he describes himself as someone who enjoys "front row tickets" to emerging technologies while "dusty industries" fall — analyzing business models, ideas, markets, and trends.

Breiter has an engineering-heavy academic background paired with business training. According to aggregated profiles, he holds degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Queen Mary University of London, an MBA from Copenhagen Business School, and completed Singularity University's Executive Program in Exponential Technologies (2016). Before PSV he worked as an Investment Manager at Seed Capital, another leading Danish early-stage fund.

At PSV he has served on multiple boards, including Abzu (AI/software), Avallone (KYC/compliance SaaS), and Nordic Power Converters (power-electronics DTU spinout). His investment style is described as medium-risk and heavily informed by behavioral-economics principles, emphasizing founders' decision-making styles. He remains actively deploying capital, including leading PSV Tech Fund II's early AI investments as of 2025.

• Invests at pre-seed and seed — from prototype through early revenue — writing six-figure (EUR) initial checks, reflecting a self-described medium-risk strategy.
• Focuses on tech and deep-tech founders in Denmark and Southern Sweden with global ambitions; PSV Tech was launched as a ~€55M fund (2021) targeting this geography.
• Draws on an engineering + behavioral-economics lens — he evaluates "business models, ideas, markets, and trends" and weighs founders' decision-making styles heavily.
• Backs AI/software and hard-tech/hardware bets others find contrarian (e.g., leading Coinify's 2014 pre-seed when crypto was an unconventional bet), and is deploying into AI through PSV Tech Fund II.
• Values being a dependable, honest board partner — his profile stresses giving candid feedback and not abandoning founders during hard times.
