Investment thesis

Solid Ventures provides equity growth capital to scale-up technology companies headquartered in the Netherlands or Colombia (Bogota). It targets the digital economy with a focus on fintech, enterprise SaaS, marketplaces, sustainable mobility, smart energy and smart-city solutions. The firm explicitly avoids early-stage startups, requiring minimum recurring revenues (~EUR 2M in Europe, EUR 1M in LATAM) with strong annual growth, an experienced serial-entrepreneur team, an internationally scalable B2B platform model, and a clear go-to-market. It takes minority stakes and works with management toward a strategic premium exit within roughly 4-6 years, leveraging over 30 years of tech VC experience and a network of co-investors and M&A advisors.
