HIRO Capital has appointed former Deputy Prime Minister Sir Nick Clegg as general partner.
The founder-led VC firm, also former president of global affairs at Facebook parent company Meta, said Sir Nick is joining as a general partner ahead of the launch of its third fund.
HIRO III is a large multi-stage fund able to deploy from €5-50 million each into promising innovators, targeting the scale-up capital gap in the UK and Europe.
HIRO’s team will also be strengthened by a new advisory board, which brings exceptional domain expertise across each of the four core themes of the HIRO thesis: spatial AI and cloud, autonomy & robotics, space & defence, and augmentation & longevity.
