Multiple Capital

About

MULTIPLE CAPITAL is a fund of funds focused on micro and seed stage venture capital funds in Europe and the US. We seek out innovative, emerging and solo fund managers in niche geographies and verticals that are often overlooked.

WE INVEST in a range of both generalist local funds and specialized sector funds, which gives our investors the opportunity to participate in some of the greatest technological innovations of the coming decades.

OUR AIM is to build a consistent, highly diversified, early-stage venture capital portfolio that outperforms their venture capital benchmarks and other asset classes, and to democratize the access to this kind of portfolio.

Q&A

What are the benefits of investing in Venture Capital? Venture capital (VC) often outperforms other asset classes in the long run. And when highly diversified, it can also be less volatile than listed equity markets. Plus, it allows investors to play an influential role in developing technology with a lasting impact.

What are the risks of investing directly into funds or startups? Just like traditional methods of investing, diversification in funds and startups is crucial for mitigating risk. It’s also extremely beneficial to have extensive knowledge and connections in the industries of interest. Without learning how to make educated decisions about investing, the risk of losing the initial investment can significantly increase.

What are the benefits of a Fund of Funds (FoF)? By investing in funds rather than companies, FoFs provide broad, diverse exposure to venture capital as an asset class. It can greatly reduce the risk of loss and volatility while increasing the probability of investing in the next big outlier tech companies.

What differentiates Multiple Capital from other Fund of Funds? We invest in early-stage and micro funds, which include local generalists as well as specialists in up-and-coming sectors. As we’ve seen throughout our proven track record over the past decade, early-stage funds consistently outperform late-stage funds, and small venture capital fund sizes outperform larger fund sizes. Multiple Capital’s extensive network of over 1000 venture capitalists offers our investors diversified exposure to unique opportunities.

Ethos Fund

From Southeast Asia to Silicon Alley, our world is marked by unprecedented degrees of multiculturalism, ethnic diversity, social shifts, international collaboration, and technology-driven changes. Third culture innovators - founders who create and define a new ‘third space’ in response to adversities they face while living, learning, and transacting between disparate cultures - are on the rise and at the center of solving humanity’s biggest problems. As third culture individuals ourselves, Ethos understands better than anyone else the powerful forces at work in the world today. We can spot asymmetric opportunities and invest where others hesitate because we aren’t afraid to be authentic and embrace the same ethos as the third culture innovators that we invest in. We hold deeply ingrained convictions that investing in companies led by extraordinary third culture leaders will not only yield more unicorns, but also shape a world in which future generations will thrive, celebrate, and treasure. VALUESEthos: We believe the most important foundation of a person’s success is his or her character and spirit, which will manifest in the person’s business, relationships, and actions. Commitment: We invest in founders from the earliest stages (often, the first check) and continue to support their long term vision. We believe startups are a marathon, not a sprint. Curiosity: We seek truth. We assume nothing and believe that the best approach is to uncover these truths through experimentation. Community: We believe that the startup journey is much better when we share it with others. The journey is hard. No need to go through it alone. Vision: We support founders who are bold and mission-driven to improve the future of humanity. Big dreams inspire and motivate us all to be better. WHY THIRD CULTURE Third Culture is not about geography or skin color. Third culture is the mindset and drive to adapt, grow, and triumph while remaining fiercely authentic even amid pain and discomfort. It is the situation of being in between two or more worlds, and includes the meaning of being located at the periphery or edge of mainstream thinking. It’s the impetus behind the biggest and most important innovations for humanity and the future of our children.
