“Spero” is Latin for hope. We help founders build a hopeful future. We’re a team of former startup founders, operators, and investors from landmark companies including eBay and Tesla. We invest in determined founders building mission-driven technology companies in three focus areas: wellbeing; sustainability; learning, work, and play. We prefer to lead or co-lead a $3-$10M round (late seed or Series A). Our typical check is $2-$4M, and we reserve capital for follow-on. We are conviction-based investors who play the long game. How We Work With YouWe have the conviction to lead and price your round. We participate in follow-on funding and help with subsequent fundraising. Our concentrated portfolio approach allows us to engage deeply with our founders. We’re supportive throughout the life of a company. Every one of our founders has full access to the entire Spero Ventures team. We know some ideas take time to catch on, so we offer patient capital. We are calm and steady partners in uncertain times. We help companies scale to serve billions of customers. We’ve done this as operators and founders, and as advisors and board members. We connect our companies to a network of founders, advisors, coaches, domain experts, and executive talent. We build community by bringing founders and leaders together through our CEO Summits, Product Leader Summits, founder breakfasts, workshops and thought-provoking events. We offer expert-led workshops that help founders with brand/storytelling, sales/go-to-market, consumer growth, and fundraising. Our focus Wellbeing Agency over physical and mental health People deserve to be in control of their own physical and mental health. For that, they need new kinds of information and access to care. What devices, apps, tools and services will help people live longer, healthier, more vibrant lives? How can genomics help us better understand our world and ourselves, and contribute to new solutions? Companies that answer these questions will make life worth living. Sustainability Protecting and preserving our planet Life is worth living on a healthy planet. But many of the largest systems we rely on - water, food, energy, transportation, product production and waste - were designed in a way that’s unsustainable and detrimental to our personal and planetary health. The economic, social, and health impacts of climate change and industrial pollution are growing too large to ignore: unprecedented droughts, fires and floods have disrupted millions of lives and result in billions of dollars of loss each year. How can we develop safer, more efficient systems? What can we do to improve power grids, recycling, environmental monitoring and disaster analytics? We invest in sustainability with conviction. Learning, Work, and Play Freedom in work and life Savoring relationships, art, joy, and laughter makes life worth living. Today, the way we do these things is changing. We can now learn, work, and play in hybrid ways that suit individual needs. This means self-directed learners need access to education and job preparation. Likewise, self-directed workforces need freedom, flexibility, and the ability to manage their goals. How can we provide better access to rewarding, satisfying work? What tools and support systems do people need to thrive? We invest in powerful visions for the future of learning, work, and play.

Why should you partner with us? If you’re a founder asking yourself whether or not we are the right partner for you, here are the five principles that guide how we act as a team. Hold us to them when you meet us. Aligned to Win: Greatness occurs when remarkable people with diverse perspectives work together as one. By empowering each other, sharing credit and encouraging each other to act as owners we make the whole stronger than the sum of its parts. What does this mean for you? With egos left at the door, we can work together towards one common goal: helping you build a business that changes the world. Performance Through Integrity: ​​We achieve our best performance and results as a team through integrity. We get to the right decisions through frank discussions based on data and logic in an environment where diverse perspectives and independent thinking is encouraged. We identify biases and blind spots and we are always conscious of our impact on our wider environment as world citizens. We contribute to a diverse and inclusive culture, higher standards of professionalism, and a fair, safe and collaborative environment. What does this mean for you? Our objective is to be the investor you are proud to have on your cap table. Partners to Gamechangers: We pride ourselves on being genuine partners to the entrepreneurs we work with. We build lasting relationships. Venture is a long term game, helping those who share our mission by sharing our experiences. By getting to know founders early on both we and you can better gauge if there is a good match. What does this mean for you? Our aim is to always have a positive reference from founders we have worked with. Feel free to ask any of our founders, whether they succeeded or not, which investor they would recommend and why? Life is too short to not be decent to each other. Bold and Progressive: We are calculated risk-takers with strong judgement and conviction. We are not afraid of bold action to lead our industry, rather than follow. We have a growth mindset and use data and feedback in pursuit of continuous learning and improvement. What does this mean for you? We challenge ourselves to think big and long-term. Expect us to do the same to you. Humble: We are honest, authentic, and transparent. We are not afraid to make mistakes, and when we do, we admit when we are wrong and learn from it. We are honest about our own limitations and recognise the skills, knowledge and strengths of our colleagues so that we can achieve our desired outcomes collaboratively as a team. We seek guidance and feedback from others, and we remain teachable, always. What does this mean for you? We are not perfect, but we’ve all got your back and you will always have someone you can to talk to. No matter the time of day or night. How we invest What should founders expect? The truth is no two founders, products or business models are the same, and so there is no ‘one size-fits-all’ approach to investing. However, as a founder, these are some general things you should expect if we are lucky enough to be invited into your fundraising process. Our goal is to align on vision and shared ambition For us, this is the most important thing. Like you, we are not here to make incremental progress. We want to accelerate those who want to move the world forward. Trust us, but also take a look at our portfolio, no vision is too ambitious. Get to know us, not just other way round We will want you to meet our team, not just one of us. We want you to have a clear understanding of what we can do for you over the coming decade and who you’ll be working with. Talk to some of our existing founders about working with us through good times and bad, and talk to your peers and network about us. We want you to make an informed decision that is in the best interest of your business. We know firsthand how valuable your time is, so we move at your speed. It’s why we take a thematic and relationship-led approach to investing. It means we can build conviction fast, move at your speed, and align with you from our first conversation. We listen, more than we talk. Don’t worry, that’s because we focus on the things that matter and we do our work upfront. But we will have questions. It’s never too early to speak to us We back you from the earliest stages through to IPO. While there are always exceptions to the rule, we typically focus on European founders at the early stages, and founders whose global vision includes winning in Europe at the growth stage. Commitments We’re Making To Build a Better Ecosystem in Europe Our mission at Atomico is to develop the world’s most prosperous, sustainable, inclusive and mission-driven technology ecosystem right here in Europe. Since 2006 we have been disrupting the venture capital industry in Europe, and a big part of that is never standing still or being afraid to be the trailblazers for different ways of doing things. Research and data show us that diverse teams have a greater perspective, make better decisions and perform better. As VCs we have a privileged hand in building the future; it is a direct responsibility of ours, then, to help build an equitable and just tomorrow We are not perfect, nor are we there yet, but we share our convictions to push our industry and our ecosystem forward. Here are just some of the initiatives that we’ve committed to so far: Our annual State of European Tech Report is the industry barometer and largest free data repository on our ecosystem today, highlighting progress but also where we must improve.
