The Essence of VC
Only few startups will define the future. We embrace risk with discipline to identify and win outliers.
Venture capital is ruled by the Power Law - a handful of companies drive the majority of outcomes. Our focus is simple: find exceptional founders early and support them before the category exists.
We work for both our investors and founders alike to produce outsized returns.
How We Invest
We invest early, back conviction, and partner long term. We always invest with other VCs.
Opportunistic by nature. Focused by design.
When
Pre-Seed & Seed
We partner with founders at the beginning - when conviction matters more than consensus.
Where
Europe
We invest in the best founders from Europe and partner with them wherever they build.
Focus
Industry agnostic
Outliers rarely look like today's trends. Generalism increases the surface area for discovering the one-in-100 company.
Who
Exceptional teams only
Founder teams only - no single founders. Relentless drive, operational excellence, and a clear view of how the future will look different.
How much
500K - 1M
We always invest with other VCs. Singular focus on the initial investment, no follow-ons. One unified goal: move to the next stage.
How we operate
Clarity & dedication
Underpromise, overdeliver. Transparent communication. We challenge founders and stay intellectually honest.
Who we are
We are not bankers. We are disciplined operators. Straightforward partners.
Backed by experienced entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders who share our conviction.
Different paths. Shared principles. Full alignment.
