Investment thesis
ETFS Capital backs early-stage European fintech founders seeking to disrupt financial services. The team is made up of fintech industry veterans with deep experience in investment management and capital markets, and leverages its networks to add long-term value to portfolio companies. The firm prefers to lead at the Series A stage but is comfortable co-leading or participating in rounds. It invests in only a small number of companies each year so it can actively support founders after investment.
