Keen Venture Partners

For medical professionals, keeping up with new clinical research isn’t optional- it’s essential. But with the sheer volume of studies published daily, it can feel like reading an entire cookie policy before clicking "Accept"- every single day. That’s why we’re excited to announce EvidenceHunt's €1.2M raise to make clinical evidence search faster, smarter, and more accessible. Their AI-driven platform helps researchers, policymakers, and healthcare professionals cut through the noise, find peer-reviewed studies in seconds, and make evidence-based decisions with ease. Proud to be backing Olivier and Philippe as they scale EvidenceHunt, already trusted by teams at Pfizer, Google, and Novartis. Great to be co-leading this round with our friends at DFF Ventures (Dutch Founders Fund), alongside Slimmer AI (cc: Bas, JC).   🗞️ https://lnkd.in/eGw86byf

KEEN - What a Year It’s Been! As 2024 winds down, we're taking a minute to celebrate another trip around the sun. We do so from Amsterdam, where the sun is as rare as a startup on budget #foundermode. We reflect that venture is no sprint; it's more like a marathon on a roller coaster. 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 💫 We saw 638 AI Agent startups and 24 ex Adyen people starting companies... just kidding… 🧐 well? But we did do 7 deals that sleighed (🛷) and we're proud to support these great founders. 🏋♂️ Our portfolio resilience shines with 5 companies winning follow-on investments. Great execution gets you past the finish line! 🍾 We popped 1 big bottle and a 0,0% biertje for 2 exits and poured one out for 1 RIP—celebrations and reflections alike. 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀: This summer we bid a heartfelt goodbye to Abdul Afridi, but our squad expanded with new all-stars Giuseppe Lacerenza and Stephanie Davis, who are already on the field and smashing it. 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱: Charging into 2025 with energy levels that could light up Europe without Russian gas! We're ready to unveil ambitious announcements—stay tuned, it's going to be bold. 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆: Huge thanks to our portfolio companies, partners, and friends. You prove that our best bets are on people, and we wish everyone a festive holiday season and a smooth exit from 2024. Like Jay-Z said: “May the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows”. #HappyHolidays #VentureCapital #KeenVenturePartners #2024Wrapped
