Investment thesis
Arches Capital focuses on pre-seed B2B software startups based in the Benelux region, investing typically at the pre-seed stage with ticket sizes between €250K and €1M and often leading rounds as the first cheque in. The firm pairs a €22M fund with a network of 100+ engaged angel investors — experienced founders, operators and industry experts — who help validate startups and later accelerate portfolio companies through domain expertise and networks. Arches emphasizes transparency with standardized term sheets available from the start, fast closings, and follow-on capability exceeding €60M. Founders also benefit from the Arches Academy leadership program. The firm thinks globally but acts locally, with its angel network and most of its portfolio based in the Netherlands.
