Merus Capital is founded and led by former heads of M&A at Google and Microsoft who personally led 100+ technology acquisitions, including landmark deals like YouTube and Android, and they use this rare dual-tech-giant deal-making experience as their core edge in venture investing. The fund focuses narrowly on early-stage enterprise AI and complex B2B software companies with highly sophisticated technical teams, backing products that are "hard to build, but easy to scale" and actively coaching founders on M&A processes using their experience structuring major tech deals.
