Heartcore’s investment philosophy centers on ‘Investing in Happiness’ - a fundamental belief that technology is a powerful tool for human well-being and potential. Founded in 2007, they adopt a founder-centric approach that contrasts sharply with traditional ‘asset management’ venture capital. They view the entrepreneur as their customer and commit to long-term, trusting relationships from seed stage through IPO, emphasizing empathy for the entrepreneurial journey alongside constructive challenge and support.
What Sets Them Apart

- Strong track record: 100+ portfolio companies, 5 unicorns, 10 'soonicorns', €10 billion+ in enterprise value created
- Funds consistently rank in top decile or quartile of their vintages with hundreds of millions returned to investors
- Technology optimism combined with humility and empathy in founder relationships
