Investment thesis
Beta Capital backs disruptive, technology-intensive ventures led by ambitious, skilled founders that aim to solve large untapped global needs. It is sector-agnostic, focusing on the quality of the people, technology and market rather than a specific industry. The firm concentrates on early stages, supporting projects from MVP and proof-of-concept through to scaling sales and teams internationally. It typically invests around EUR 250k to EUR 1m per project, can lead syndicated rounds and co-invest with others, and works with its network to help secure follow-on financing. Beta Capital takes minority positions and stays hands-on as an advisor without running day-to-day operations, and is incorporating ESG/SFDR considerations into its policies.
