Ilavska Vuillermoz Capital Launches New DefenceTech Fund on the Fundcraft Platform, Consolidates Digital Fund Operations

Ilavska Vuillermoz Capital, a Luxembourg-based venture capital firm, has gone live on the fundcraft digital fund operations solution with its newly launched DefenceTech fund, focused on early-stage European innovation in the strategically critical defence sector.

In parallel, the firm has completed the migration of its existing Luxembourg fund structures to fundcraft, consolidating its AIFM and Central Administration operations on a single digital solution. The migration was completed in three months following fundcraft’s structured migration framework. This consolidation enables scalable, compliant execution and a more seamless investor experience for its 80+ LPs across all funds.

“We don’t just invest in technology, we operate like a tech firm ourselves. Fundcraft’s digital platform, product-first approach, and strong service delivery are fully aligned with how we want to run our fund operations,” said Laurent Hengesch, Founding Partner at Ilavska Vuillermoz Capital. “We see fundcraft as a long-term strategic partner as we continue to scale and innovate across fund strategies.”

“The partnership with Ilavska Vuillermoz Capital further reinforces our leadership in digital fund operations for Luxembourg-domiciled VC funds,” said Julien de Mayer, Founder and CEO of fundcraft. “We’re proud to provide the infrastructure that enables high-performing managers to scale their strategies, whether they are launching new funds or migrating away from legacy providers.”

Of the 220+ Luxembourg-domiciled funds currently operated on the fundcraft platform, more than 150 were successfully migrated from incumbent service providers. For fund managers weighed down by manual tasks, Excel-based reporting, and disconnected processes, fundcraft offers a proven and scalable path forward.
