Keen Venture Partners

Us We are the radically human venture capital firm. We are here to make sure you’re always in good company on the rather bumpy ride of fast-paced growth. We’re a team that knows scaling. Its many paths and painful pitfalls. Of course, more money can make a difference. However, being in good company makes all the difference. You You’re a fast growing tech scale-up in Europe. You're thinking about a Series A or B round of investment. You’re looking to work with like-minded people to build a meaningful company. Let’s get to know each other. The sooner the better, because let’s be honest, you also value having a relationship well before you need any funding. We are keen to work with ready-to-scale European tech companies in the following categories: Data and Intelligence; Software Services, Digital Models. We do not invest in Life Sciences, Clean Tech, Gaming Studios, Digital Media, Ad-Tech. We do not invest in companies based outside of Europe or at the pre-seed stage. The very earliest stages are critical, challenging, and essential, but we focus on early growth. Tech we like We have a vision of the future. We are looking for like minds who will shape this future. Our investment ideas are based on fundamental trends in specific areas of technology. Areas where we can make a real contribution with our experience and network. Smart Building Blocks We see a world where intelligence is no longer centrally accessed through ONE single point. Instead, it is distributed in an omnipresent fashion around the end user. Connectivity, cloud architecture and continued miniaturization of hardware are laying the foundations for new, exciting categories. We look for teams that are building category leading companies in Next Generation Networks | Virtualization | IoT Platforms | Big Data | Machine Learning | Smart Hardware and Robotics. Accessible Software In our opinion it’s clear that enterprise users want consumer level simplicity. While consumers want the power of sophisticated technology. These user groups are converging towards software applications that offer the best of both worlds. We’re looking for web and mobile services companies where smart software tools can be applicable to users in both a personal and professional context. Categories include: Productivity and Collaboration Tools | File Management | Analytics. Digital Transacting Technology has widened circles of trust and diminished transaction costs. As a result, consumption habits are changing fast. We see great opportunities for companies to unbundle the traditional service economy through digital models. As well as companies that can support the foundations of these new models through improved security, authentication and easier payment and fulfilment. Categories we’re interested in include: Marketplaces | Payment Services | Fin-Tech Platforms | Digital Security | Identity Solutions. How we like to work Every venture firm promotes their added value activities. We know that. Heck, some even have a talent pool ready to help with the design of your next logo. These are mostly used as a means to propel an investment once the ink has dried on the contracts. But there is life before the deal. We invest time first, money later. Our approach is to start by sharing our network, experience and capabilities. Well before any investment possibility arises. We believe getting to know each other, gaining trust and proving demonstrable value, are the foundations for a long-term relationship. We hope you agree. Ultimately, this approach helps both sides gain a higher degree of conviction when the actual opportunity to invest arises. We always stick to our promises, providing a fast and fair investment process. Sometimes our conversations are not followed by a capital investment. Time spent with the right people is never a waste. We also learn every day. When we do invest, we'll make sure that you’re in great company. Because money can sometimes make a difference but being in good company makes all the difference. That's why we're radically human in everything we do.
