European Fintech Series A

We specialise in investing into and supporting the most talented and ambitious European fintech founders at the Series A stage

Domain Experts

We do nothing but fintech. This helps us ensure we can be informed partners to our portfolio founders.

Alignment With Founders

Each partner will only do 1-2 investments per year, allowing us to dedicate proper time to each portfolio company. Beyond acting as a strategic sounding board, we look to leverage our network to support founders in navigating their fundraising process effectively. By being primarily a follower in a funding round, we do not dictate the terms of a round, but can rather help guide you on building an optimal investor syndicate.

Experienced Operators

We look to support you throughout your scale up journey leveraging our own experience of building a European fintech unicorn.
