Thesis
We invest in innovative European companies that will scale to become global category leaders. Our focus is on companies solving education and work challenges through technology and human capital investment. We believe the best outcomes come from mission-driven entrepreneurs building sustainable solutions.
Likely not a fit for
We do not invest in companies without clear social impact mission, non-European founders (with limited European market traction), companies targeting consumer entertainment over education, or late-stage companies without proven product-market fit.
