Welcome to the CapitalT family - Balthazar!

We’re thrilled to announce our role as lead investor in Balthazar’s latest funding round, bringing their total raised to €1.8M. Joining forces with Antler and other Dutch innovation funders, we’re backing the brilliant team that’s building an AI-powered operating system for deep tech R&D labs.

Balthazar transforms how cutting-edge hardware - from semiconductors and photonics to carbon capture - gets developed. Their real-time, intelligent workspace lets teams run, monitor, and manage complex experiments from the browser, integrating every step of the workflow from design to analysis.

By connecting lab instruments, organising prototype data, and embedding automation, Balthazar brings structure, speed, and reproducibility to an industry still reliant on fragmented systems.

As our Founding Partner Eva de Mol puts it:

“Balthazar solves a foundational challenge for deep tech teams: turning research chaos into coordinated progress. This is the kind of infrastructure that accelerates technological breakthroughs.”

With fresh funding, Balthazar will scale product development, enhance AI capabilities, and grow its team - and of course, they’ve already received one of our signature unicorns to celebrate the partnership. 🦄
