About Us

“Only 20-30% of seeded companies make it to Series A"

We are built to help the most relentless entrepreneurs overcome the daunting odds facing them on their Seed to Series A journey. We call this the Foundation Stage.

We focus on Foundations:

We invest at the beginning and partner until the end of the start-up journey. We support our founders to build solid company foundations and milestone-focused, capital-optimising cultures that last a company’s lifetime. We know that doing the foundation stage right dramatically increases a start-up’s chance of success and unlocks the path to explosive and sustainable growth.

We’re Deeply Experienced:

We’ve invested in over 120 startups, investing hundreds of millions of € from across 5 investment funds. We’ve supported hundreds of founders on their startup journey and are proud to have played a small part in so many success stories.

Our history, combined with our Partners’ exceptional calibre, means we are uniquely placed to help our founders succeed.

We are ‘Partner focussed’ VC:

Founders want to deal with Partners who are peers, Partners who can wield their significant senior level experience to add value in every interaction, starting with the first conversation.

We are a Partner-focussed VC. Founders interact with a Partner from their first conversation to their last. Our Partners are fully empowered, always available and operate with a ‘start-up speed’ mentality.
