Our vision from Day 1, since we started in 2018, was to build a transatlantic venture capital firm that bridges continents and makes a meaningful impact by helping the world’s boldest build category-leading businesses. Our mission is to make potential actual together with our founders and partners.
We have grown to a global and diverse team of seven calling countries such as the US, Canada, Dominican Republic, China, India, UK, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Austria our “homes” and speaking more than 10 languages. Chances are we speak yours, and great things often start with a great conversation.
We know what “seemingly impossible” looks and feels like since we have been founders ourselves. Our complementary backgrounds are in Venture Capital, Private Equity, Corporate Management and Management Consulting for global top-tier firms.
While we believe that these backgrounds are helpful in supporting great founders, what matters more is our ambition to learn and become a little better every day. We earn trust, fight hard, think free, make happen, pursue excellence, and stay grounded. Just like the founders we partner with.
