FAQs

What types of startups do you invest in?

We invest in talented, passionate founder teams who seek to turn their startup into a global business. Whilst we are not focused on a single industry, we only invest in startups that have a highly scalable product and we only invest in founder teams. Single-founder startups are not part of our investment scope.

What is your investment ticket size?

We make six-digit investments, the range will vary depending on how convincing your team and business case is.

What value does Founders of Europe provide?

We are not your typical investor. We are a team of experienced founders. We know the pains of entrepreneurship. And we know how to master them. Each of us has been through the ups & downs of the startup rollercoaster. We don’t just invest financial capital – we provide advice, access to a global network of decision-makers and we support our founder teams with skills in the fields of product & tech, sales, marketing, growth, internationalisation and leadership.

What are your investment criteria?

When evaluating investment opportunities, we typically focus on the founder team (distribution of skills, experience, motivation) and the scalability of your business model. We also expect you to prove that you have thoroughly analysed your market environment and that you are focused on achieving a rapid product-market fit.
