About

We invest in 3 stages

We start to support companies at Seed stage and invest in Series A, B, and beyond.

We unite 3 groups of select, like-minded stakeholders

European Founders

We are looking for teams in the GSA & CEE region with the clear intention to make a difference in the world

Leading Global VCs

We co-invest in syndicates with Tier 1 funds (eg. Forbes’ Midas List) with the ability to proactively support these teams

Regional Fund Investors (LPs)

We are backed by investors who choose to focus on best-in-class teams and who share our vision of driving the European startup ecosystem forward

A strong entrepreneurial DNA

We are ambitious entrepreneurs at heart and we back our founders' vision on the basis of a strictly entrepreneurial mindset.

A focus on quality, not quantity

We are highly selective when it comes to our approach to partnership and always optimize for quality instead of quantity.

A diverse team, acting as one.

Being a diverse team of ambitious and passionate individuals, we always act as one: no hierarchies, no red tape, but a tight-knit operational skill set that profits from our varied fields of expertise. Which means: transparent communication and constructive criticism always.

We showcase their success, and work hard behind the scenes to amplify it. One life-altering investment can lead to industry-wide impact—we’ve seen it happen firsthand. So we aspire to be the partners of choice for today’s boldest startup founders, as they become tomorrow’s visionary leaders.
