Gazelle Capital

Fil Rouge Capital (FRC) is an investment fund manager whose funds focus on early stage businesses from pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds of investment. ManifestoWe love building and being part of an entrepreneurial ecosystem where everybody plays their role. We want to make the Croatian entrepreneurial ecosystem the best in class so expect to see a lot of us because this is what we want to achieve! Our reputation is our wealth. We always stand behind our founders, in good and bad times, we mean it, you will see! We hate getting the “long yes” so we never give …the “long yes”. We love bold founders and we provide “Capital for the Bold”. Get it? We at FRC have “been there, done that”. Our combined M&A and financing track records exceed $4B. We didn’t always get it right, but we’re not ashamed of it. We can give continuous support to our startups from incubation and acceleration to scale-up and exit. “We bring you more than money”: every VC claims it but very few actually live by it – we do. We were voted “Best Investor” in our region 2 years in a row and there is a reason for that. We’re fine with opinions but we’d rather focus on facts. We are no nonsense guys. We will tell you things as they are, we never intend to demean or hurt. We might seem offensive every now and then, remember, we NEVER mean bad but we’d rather be straight.

We combine early-stage capital with hands-on support across product, design, growth, and fundraising. With the backing of Inviox Studios, our portfolio companies get access to world-class AAA-level creative, go-to-market execution, and investor network - all aligned around building lasting, scalable ventures.

Delivering both funding and expertise, we back early stage companies’ founders building their dreams Our hands-on approach comprehends mentorships with successful startup founders See what we look for in our investee side: Exceptional Founders: People with the will and ability to be a market leader as well as recruit, run, and share their vision with the team Considerable Market: Companies inserted within an expressive and growing TAM with the potential to become a multi-billion-dollar business Disruptive Product/Service: Innovative solutions with product-market fit and satisfied and engaged clientele High Scalability: Businesses with the ability to grow exponentially by means of its processes, network, software or product and manage increasing demand

Inclusive Investing™ is a market-backed discipline that allows us to cast a targeted, yet wide net when sourcing companies, while keeping outsized returns and impact front and center in our investment decisions. There’s a lot of talk about demographics and a lack of diversity in venture capital. Inclusive investing is a strategy that proactively addresses this problem. While we’re pioneering this strategy, the data supporting our thesis is on our side: diverse fund managers earn better returns, and companies with diverse leadership outperform their peers. Inclusive Investing™ goes beyond diversity - it’s a new investment discipline that can transform the way we source, invest in, and scale businesses, and in doing so, create new pathways to prosperity for individuals, businesses, and communities at scale. Inclusive Investing™ levels the playing field so the best businesses and most talented teams succeed. A Five-Pronged ApproachImplemented cohesively, these five areas of practice yield an Inclusive Investing™ discipline Zeal is spearheading in the venture world across private markets.Diverse Fund Managers: Fund managers and the broader team are diverse with complementary backgrounds and skill sets. Diverse Management Teams: Companies proactively source diverse management teams with complementary skill sets and backgrounds that help portfolio companies outperform. Geographic Inclusivity: Funds source from a wide range of geographies across the U.S., not just traditional geographic VC “hotbeds”. Investment Focus: Investment allocation is directed to sectors where fund managers expect continued innovation and opportunity for disruption. Impact Lens: Investments seek to achieve top tier financial and social returns that impact low-wealth communities and small businesses.
