Fintech

Traditional institutions have long been the sole gatekeepers of the financial sector. Now, Fintech companies are uprooting business models across insurance, investing, lending, real estate and banking, easing access to financial services we use every day.

‍

From wefox to Bitpanda, Luko, Curve, and Open, we have a portfolio spanning from Europe to emerging markets and partner with the most innovative tech startups driving this disruption. Whether you’re reinventing payments or embedded finance, our sector expertise, strong industry networks, and in-house operational support will help you unleash your full potential.

Initial ticket size

€250K - 15M

We invest in

Seed, Series A and Series B startups

Strategic network

Regulation and red tape make it difficult to democratize the industry. Our +50-strong network of strategic partners includes leaders of financial institutions ready to help you break down barriers and plug into the ecosystem.

‍

Global reach

Fintech’s power has no limits, our reach doesn’t either. With partners in emerging markets like Bangladesh (ShopUp), Nigeria (FairMoney), India (Open Bank) and Mexico (Finnu), we actively back founders well beyond Europe’s borders.

‍

Follow-on funding

We partner with founding teams for the long run. By reserving capital in initial tickets, we can support you in every funding round. We also connect you to our deep investor network and help secure follow-on capital needed to scale.
