KPN Ventures is the venturing arm of KPN, The Netherlands’ leading telecom & ICT company. We focus on early growth-stage investments (series A, B & C) in European and US high growth companies in the segments depicted on the right side. Our investments typically range from 1 to 5 million euro for minority stakes, building long-term partnerships, ultimately aiming for external exits, not acquisitions.
Our key investment criteria are: experienced and diverse team, innovative product with unique competitive advantage, international market potential, sustainability, potential for cooperation with KPN, commercial traction (€1M revenues) and attractive deal structure.
