5 Growth Partners
+150 companies founded or invested in

We fund your growth

We focus on Series A and Series B, with typical initial investment of 3-5 million euros. We love to lead rounds, as well as to syndicate; the only thing that really matters to us is that the round helps you the best.

We are looking for companies with:

Proven unit economics and scalability

Our approach

We partner with the most beautiful companies

During the last three decades, we’ve founded, managed and invested in +150 companies. We have had many successes but some of them have gone bankrupt: the aggregate exit value of our companies is several billion euros. We can’t wait to share our learnings with you!

Companies

We stand for sustainability

We believe that doing good is good business. We want to generate great returns without compromising on sustainable value. To achieve this we look for the best fit of impact-minded entrepreneurs and enduring business models. We hope to walk the walk along with founders, from entry to exit and beyond.
