Vala Capital 🌱

Vala is a European VC backing the best founders. We support start up and high growth companies led by teams that have the potential to change the world. We invest our capital, but also our experience and our time - our collaborative approach helps young companies excel. Sustainability sits at the heart of our decision-making, and all portfolio companies must agree to clear sustainability objectives in order to work with us. In fact, we make our capital conditional on it. Above all, we love building lifelong relationships with the founder we back, which are based on trust, respect and a shared vision.

Connect Ventures

Connect is the Product VC. We are a thesis-led, pan-European pre-seed and seed stage VC. We invest in opinionated products, crafted with love, and loved by many. We've been backing product-led founders since 2012. Our investments include Truelayer, Typeform, Oyster, Lifebit, Kheiron, Faks and Sprinque. Our specialisms cut across SaaS, fintech, consumer, digital health and Web3. Collectively, we're passionate about the power of product to transform people's lives. We started Connect to back companies that help create the world we want to live in, and it's hard to change the world without scale. That's why we're in the business of investing in outlier companies — those with the potential to create impact on a massive scale.

MATTERS2

At Matters2 we desire to change the world for the Better. But, like most things, the change we desire won't come about by itself. Rome wasn't built in a day nor accomplished by a select few. It was built on universally accepted ideals and inspired one and all to facilitate and maintain the change that was needed. We wish to be the catalyst for change not only in our industry but in our communities as well. We promote the ideals of integrity, transparency and enriching those around us. We believe in giving first. At Matters2 we desire to see this change materialise. Much the same as the people and businesses that we seek to assist. We need motivated people who long for the betterment of humankind, agents of change, and dreamers that shoot for the stars. We need Founders. Founders like you. And we are here to help you bring about that change and disrupt the status quo.
