Panoramic Ventures

As a venture house, our mission is to clear the path for founders who build companies that matter. Our hybrid setup, comprising PSV Foundry, PSV Lab, and two unique venture funds, PSV Tech and PSV Hafnium, sets us free from adhering to a singular method. Rather we rethink existing ways and models to maximise our impact beyond any individual firm or investment. Together, we can punch above our weight.

Pillar VC is a venture capital firm based in Boston investing in companies at formation and seed stage with $350 million under management. We believe VC doesn’t have to be the darkside –– we’re happy to own common stock, the same security as the founders we back, and we’re committed to helping founders develop as leaders. We're doing things differently at Pillar. We’ve been involved in building startups for many years. We’ve been investors and we’ve been investees. We’ve had our share of successes and failures. We saw that the traditional VC way was broken. The term VC itself evokes an evil empire - the dark side - a painful lack of alignment between investors and entrepreneurs. In a business where trust is paramount, the dark side created a world that put us at odds with those we needed to trust most. Pillar is fixing that. Our radical hypothesis. If we give founders the investment and support we would have wanted, we'll end up in a really good place. We're aligning incentives with interests and capabilities with needs. We’re delivering the breadth and depth of experience that matches what entrepreneurs want and need. Instead of hoping our own experience aligns with these needs, we gathered a dream team of remarkable CEOs - 40 driven, insightful, connected Founding Pillars - who have been there, done that, and are still there, doing that as we speak. These leaders, co-founders of our fund, know startups and big technology like nobody else. And we won't stop there. We’re going to align our every decision with the interests of our community. This is the starting point of a new way - a capability that will be larger than our small team. Success will take a shared commitment to push for greatness in everything we build - and in how we build it. In doing so, we want to create the next generation of big, important, lasting technology companies. So, if you have a big, ambitious idea you can’t stop thinking about, or if you have a company you want to take to the next level, or if you simply want to be part of something exciting and new, please reach out.

We’re EQT Ventures, a VC built by former founders and operators ready to support the next generation of global winners. Building a global tech company is challenging. We know because we’ve done it too. Without the right people around you, getting to great is almost impossible. That’s why we decided to create EQT Ventures, a new kind of VC, the VC we always wanted on our own startup journeys. A VC that is accessible, supportive and fully committed. A partner that knows what it takes to put everything on the line. A VC built to serve the founders it backs. From offices in Stockholm, London, Berlin, Paris and San Francisco, we invest in and support entrepreneurs building the next-generation of global winners. Entrepreneurs will always be at the core of everything we do. We’re entrepreneurs at heart and there’s nothing we thrive from more than working with founders. No matter where you are on your journey or the challenges you face, chances are we’ve been there too and can overcome them together.
