Venture Capital is on the rise globally — across technologies, industries, and in terms of innovative investment styles. Our fund strategies reduce downside risk while letting our investors benefit from venture returns in emerging ecosystems, newly forming industries and innovative investment styles.

Fund- of-Funds 2.0

Our aim is to craft portfolios of the most promising investment strategies in Europe and the US with a focus on persistent outperformance. We are actively looking for up and coming Micro VC strategies in their first fund generations with a unique positioning to allocate capital to meaningful innovation, especially in Deep Tech, Climate Tech, B2B & AI as well as Health and Bio Tech.

We also invest in larger funds, typically no bigger than EUR 250m in target volume, if their size is underpinned by sound portfolio construction and scaled to strategy and market opportunity.
