It operates three stage-focused funds: LocalGlobe, its seed fund backing Europe's most ambitious founders from the outset; Latitude, its breakout-stage fund supporting high-growth companies at Series B and beyond; and Solar, its scale-stage fund partnering late private rounds into public markets. The firm aims to accompany founders across the full journey while giving them freedom and trust, stepping in with hands-on support when asked.
