Coalition Capital is a venture capital firm that partners with the best entrepreneurs in Europe to help them shape the digital economy.
We partner with entrepreneurs and invest in spaces where tectonic technological shifts like Artificial Intelligence are creating extraordinary opportunities. It is our believe that the biggest companies of the next decade will be solving the world’s most pressing challenges, leveraging the power of AI along the way. From redefinition of supply chains, the improvement of worker's mental health, disruption in financials services, cybersecurity to bridging the digital skills gap, we see it as our mission to help solve real-world problems.
Coalition is thesis-driven and we are focused on Europe. We bring a true pay-it-forward mentality: invest time first, money second. We are convinced that true value and sustainable returns can only be created with a long-term strategic vision and a plan around the growth of organizations. It is our goal to patiently build companies into global leaders. We laud actual achievements, not artificial milestones of every increasing funding round valuations.
As a break-out team from Inkef and Prosus, we are venture and growth equity veterans who have helped build iconic companies across the world. Often, we joined in the early innings and helped scale these businesses into category-defining multi-billion-dollar global gorillas. Under the flag of Coalition we intend to do it again.
