henQ is a Seed and Series A venture capital fund. We invest across Europe in B2B startups with a software component, writing tickets of EUR 2-5M. Companies we invest in range from having their first embryonic product and a few pilot customers, to having EUR 2-3M in annual recurring revenue being ready to properly scale. Our assets under management are approximately EUR 200M. Our latest fund - raised in 2020 - is EUR 80M in size. The returns of all our funds are among the best in the market. Famous brand name funds like Sequoia are reaping the benefits of what they did in the past and defending their existing great position. At henQ, we are equally as ambitious but our work is much more exciting, as together we are building the next great success story in VC rather than defending a legacy. We do so by constructing a high conviction portfolio (making on average 3 new investments / year) and only investing in the very few deals we truly love. The results are top returns and the wonderful privilege of only working with people we admire. Joining now, you could still become one of the key players in our team.

Lightbird is a Zurich-based VC firm backing entrepreneurs at one of the most intense periods of a company’s life – the early stage (Pre-Seed/Seed/Seed+). We invest in the most ambitious founding teams that use technology to solve real problems for real people and real businesses. The fund invests in B2B software with a particular focus on companies using PLG, Community-led Growth, Bottom-up Saas, NFX, Self-serve etc.. While we’re able to invest globally we will invest most of the money close to home (Europe). We are a rising brand with young, dynamic and driven people that values team work and open communication. We are rebels and want to challenge the status quo in VC by doing things a bit differently - more human. We strongly encourage individual initiatives and diverse perspectives, and enjoy spending time with each other.
