Built by founders, for founders.
We started companies, scaled them, and learned what kind of partner we would have liked. Then we built that fund.
- • Founded and scaled companies worth over €2B — including Dailydeal and Forto. We know what building from zero actually looks like.
- • Invested €400M+ with top-quartile returns — at Earlybird and Speedinvest. We back companies the way we wanted to be backed.
- • Built a platform that goes beyond capital — our B Corp-certified Systemic Impact Framework ensures climate performance is embedded in operations, not bolted on.
We are a collection of changemakers.
