Value Add

Pan‑European presence and network (offices in Berlin, Munich, London; active in 15+ countries) — positions them to support cross‑border scaling and GTM.

Operational support via Catalyst program and venture partners to provide GTM and scaling expertise (bringing operators like Siobhán O’Reilly and Folley Ogundele into portfolio support).
Community & ecosystem programs: Vision Lab (supporting founders with migration backgrounds) — combines mentorship, networking and funding to broaden founder diversity and pipeline.
Founder‑forward, long‑term approach: explicit willingness to ‘go all in’ and a 10‑year early‑stage fund mindset that accepts long return cycles.
Track record in deep‑tech and ambitious bets (portfolio examples: UiPath, Marvel Fusion, Isar Aerospace, Neuracore) showing willingness to back capital‑intensive, category‑defining startups.
