Emerging European Funds
What are some of the most exciting emerging European venture/growth funds you have seen?
A few that I’ve encountered:
-
Anfa, great founding team, investing Series A-C, sector agnostic.
-
Expedition growth, invest EUR 10 - 30m in bootstrapped software businesses.
Ah, the quest for the next big thing in the European fund landscape, quite the adventure! While I can't comment on Anfa or Expedition Growth specifically, based on the WSO content, here's what I can share about the European venture/growth fund scene:
Investment Stage and Type: It's crucial to consider the investment stage when looking at funds. Are they focusing on Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A/B, growth, or late-stage investments? Some funds might also be incubators or accelerators.
Geographical Focus: Some funds might have a pan-European approach, while others focus on specific regions within Europe.
Sector Specialization: Is the fund a generalist, or does it specialize in certain sectors like SaaS or Deep Tech?
Investment Style: Some funds are highly selective, while others might have a broader investment mandate.
Size of Investments: Funds can vary greatly in the size of their investments, from small angel rounds to large growth equity checks.
For emerging funds, it's often about the team and their approach to investing. A great founding team, as you mentioned with Anfa, can be a strong indicator of potential success. Funds that target specific niches, like Expedition Growth's focus on bootstrapped software businesses, can also carve out a strong position in the market.
If you're looking for more detailed insights or a list of specific funds, the WSO forums are a treasure trove of information where professionals in the industry might have shared their thoughts on up-and-coming players in the European venture/growth space. Keep an eye out for threads discussing new funds or check out the latest discussions for any updates on the scene.
