About

Backing founders reshaping complex industries

Thesis: From financial services and insurance to real estate and legal and professional services, we invest in start-ups operating in complex, regulated markets.Source (opens in a new tab)
Leads rounds: Sometimes
Lead policy: We often find ourselves playing a lead role including actively supporting founders in co-ordinating other investors and structuring a funding round. We are equally comfortable with co-leading or participating.
Takes board seats: Yes
Board policy: To understand the needs of the business, we do ask for a board observer right.
Reserves policy: Our intention is to support our portfolio companies with follow-on investments in further funding rounds. Investment decisions will be made at the time considering funding needs, commercial progress, round composition and terms.
Traction requirement: Our main concern is the quality rather than quantum of revenue. A minimal level of revenue can be enough for us if the customer quality and commercial terms give us conviction in the team and market opportunity.
Investing status notes: We invest in early-stage founders solving the most important problems.
