Presto Tech Horizons connects frontier technologies, strategic investments, and purpose: to create a safer, more resilient future.
The best of tech investing meets the best of industrial-technological expertise. Presto Ventures and CSG joined forces to back global companies at the forefront of defense, security, and resilience tech.
More than 25 years of industrial expertise, connections in defense sectors, and strategic business support for portfolio firms. CSG’s market access, resources, and manufacturing capabilities help overcome barriers that limit other VC players in defense tech.
Presto's strong reputation and proven track record ensure access to a robust pipeline of relevant startups, extensive deal flow, and an active market presence. Partnerships with 400+ later-stage VCs deliver growth and funding opportunities for portfolio companies.
We back cutting-edge technologies that bridge civilian and defense applications, so called dual-use solutions. Our investment process is supported by a world-class team of deeptech experts in fields like AI, cybersecurity, and aerospace.
We target post-product startups generating revenue, across NATO and allied countries. The fund backs technologies that enhance the safety and resilience of individuals, business, institutions, and states.
The core team brings a wealth of experience in investing, portfolio management, company building, negotiation, and M&A. Our skillset and expertise ensures successful fund execution, from insightful opportunity targeting to prosperous exits.
“For the future of CSG, it’s crucial we stay at the forefront of global technological innovation. Alongside our own R&D, investing in and partnering with startups is a logical step. Support for talented tech entrepreneurs is also the best way of ensuring the long-term security of the Western world. Our partnership with Presto and the first portfolio companies of the joint fund confirm that we are on the right path."

The content provided herein does not constitute an offer, solicitation, recommendation, or financial advice to buy or sell securities, nor does it serve as an invitation to participate in any investment strategy.
In accordance with the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) (EU 2019/2088), Presto Tech Horizons discloses that it does not consider the principal adverse impacts (PAIs) of investment decisions on sustainability factors in its investment process. This approach aligns with our investment focus on early-stage (pre-seed, seed, and Series A) investments, where the availability of relevant sustainability data is limited, making systematic PAI assessment impractical. As a result, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria are not explicitly integrated into our investment decision-making process. This position may evolve in response to regulatory developments and market practices.
