Investment thesis
33East is an early-stage fund investing at pre-seed and seed, writing checks from €100k to €1m+. It backs technology-centric companies with venture-scale ambition, seeking founders with industry passion, a clear thesis on market direction, and an unfair advantage. Rather than focusing on fixed sectors, it follows founders targeting large markets, and is particularly drawn to internationally scalable businesses such as B2B propositions, enterprise software, and AI applications. As founders themselves, the team commits to being responsive and hands-on, helping with hiring, brand, product, and strategy, and leveraging deep relationships across European and global ecosystems to support future fundraising.
