Investment thesis
Phoenix Court is a multi-stage investment company that partners with founders from day one through to public markets and beyond. It operates a family of stage-specific funds: LocalGlobe backs Europe's most ambitious founders at pre-seed and seed; Latitude invests at the breakout stage in high-growth companies at Series B and later; and Solar supports scale-stage companies from late private rounds into public markets. The firm emphasizes standing by founders when they need support most, offering guidance while remaining hands-off unless asked to engage.
