ABOUT US

We’re a global multi-stage venture capital fund and since 1996, we have been chosen by exceptional entrepreneurs as a long-term partner for growth. So far, across ten fund generations, we have invested in over 175 companies including category-defining businesses like Spotify, iZettle, Kahoot!, Trustpilot, Personio, as well as leaders in emerging sectors. We do this with a global team and offices in London, Stockholm, New York, Berlin and Amsterdam.

Between the global climate crisis and social, economic, and political uncertainty, we believe technological innovation will continue to be the silver lining that delivers real societal growth. Now more than ever, we look to entrepreneurs who are building a mindful, innovative future; founders have often proven that they thrive in turbulent times.
