About

For the VC industry to truly evolve, change must come from within.

  • We founded tech-companies worth more than €2B, including Dailydeal and Forto
  • As VCs at Earlybird and Speedinvest, we invested more than €400M, with top-quartile returns.
  • We co-founded Leaders For Climate Action and are ambassadors of Founder’s Pledge.

Our team is united by the ambition to drive systemic change in venture capital towards impact, accessibility and stakeholder-alignment.
