Investment thesis
KPN Ventures backs technology companies whose products are relevant to KPN's B2C and B2B customers or that work on important technologies in the Telco sector. It takes minority stakes with checks typically between EUR 1-5 million, focusing on Series A, B and C rounds and building long-term partnerships that ultimately aim for external exits rather than acquisitions. Portfolio companies gain access to KPN's large customer base in the Netherlands and abroad, its global network of tech suppliers and partners, KPN Ventures' international investor network, and KPN's communication infrastructure spanning networks, data centers, cloud and security services.
