The firm invests from pre-seed through Series A+ in Digital, Climate, and Deep Tech startups across Europe and Africa, with offices in London, Paris, and on-the-ground partners throughout major African tech hubs.

The firm provides hands-on operational support through a dedicated scaling team that works as an extension of portfolio companies, offering tactical insights on go-to-market, revenue optimization, and operational scaling. Portfolio companies include Alice & Bob (quantum computing), Exotec (warehouse robotics), Moneybox (wealth building), Carbon Maps (food industry climate impact), and Cori Clinical (clinical trial optimization).
