HENQ Invest
Venture capitalAmsterdam · Seed–Series C
Investment thesis
henQ positions itself as a highly selective, deeply committed investor that aims for a very high hit rate rather than a spray-and-pray approach, backing only around two companies per year. The firm emphasizes fast decision-making (days rather than weeks to a term sheet), working with founders' existing business metrics instead of investor-pleasing models, and giving founders autonomy to run their companies as they see fit. It highlights that its portfolio companies use less funding and dilute less on the path to significant ARR, and is comfortable with founders building sustainable businesses without further VC funding.
