Investment thesis
Monkfish Equity is composed of four entrepreneurs who invest in European startup teams during their early days. Having collectively raised and spent over 100 million euros as founders, they have lived through the full startup life-cycle from idea to growth and successful exits. They aim to provide founders with lean terms, minimal requirements, and fast investment decisions. Rather than demanding regular reporting, they position themselves as hands-off yet available, offering operational experience from building and scaling a major European internet business. They seek opportunities to back entrepreneurial teams with strong ideas that need seed or growth capital.
