Investment Thesis

Shilling invests in founder-led companies and brings operator experience to help founders scale. They position themselves as more than a check—providing hands-on, practical support, a shared knowledge platform and network introductions—while deliberately avoiding micromanagement: “we’ll be the co-pilot you can trust… we’re not backseat drivers.” The firm emphasizes founder alignment (sharing rewards) and pre-emptive fundraising support so companies are prepared before they need capital.

Who should take a closer look

Shilling VC is most relevant for founders raising venture-backed rounds in their stated focus areas, especially across Portugal.

Focus statement

Shilling focuses on backing founders they believe in—teams with ideas, leadership and momentum—and helping them scale through practical experience, network access and a purpose-built Platform. “They have an idea we believe in and they’re running with it.”

Value Add

Founder-as-partner model — explicit emphasis that “As founders, you are a critical part of the team.”
Platform of crowd-sourced learnings and resources: a “pool of resources and insights” packaged so founders can tap shared knowledge and short-cuts.
Hands-on but non-intrusive support: “we’ll be the co-pilot you can trust… we’re not backseat drivers.”
Active help with fundraising strategy before companies begin fundraising (intros, pitch deck, dataroom structures).
Commitment to materially sharing with founders and challenging other VCs to “put their money where their mouth is.”
Team with operator experience, scaling and exits — “combining real-world, practical expertise of founders with fundraising and experience in scaling and exits.”
