Investment thesis
HOWZAT Partners invests in high-potential digital and internet companies, having raised three funds. The partners, who are entrepreneurs themselves, are highly selective and focus on outstanding early-stage businesses that show demonstrable traction. They look for companies with a 'HOWZAT factor' — the right idea, business and timing — where they can add value and complement talented founding teams through hands-on support, network introductions, product direction and fundraising help. Their interests span online travel, marketplaces and consumer internet, reflected in past backing of companies like Trivago, Spotahome and Cheapflights.
