London AI startups backed by 2100 Ventures recognised among Europe's top tech firms
Swap ranked ninth and Lupa 38th in Sifted’s AI 100, and two more 2100 Ventures-backed companies also made the list.
Sifted named four portfolio companies backed by 2100 Ventures in its 2026 AI 100 ranking. London-based Swap ranked ninth overall and veterinary firm Lupa placed 38th, while Mimic and Orbio also featured.
More than 1,500 businesses were evaluated for the annual ranking, with assessors judging candidates on market opportunity and competitive differentiation. The list highlights AI-native startups across Europe valued at less than €750m.
2100 Ventures also secured the 28th spot on Sifted's Top 50 investors list, marking it as the only Italian investor included. The firm invests in early-stage companies across sectors including artificial intelligence and software.
Swap, an AI-powered platform for ecommerce, raised $100m in January 2026 following a €30m Series B funding round. Lupa has raised €18.7m to date for its AI-powered software for veterinary practices.
Alessandro Benetton, 2100 Ventures founder, said "Having four 2100 Ventures portfolio companies recognised among Sifted's AI 100 is encouraging." The firm focuses on identifying and supporting emerging technology businesses as they grow internationally.
