The end of the year is often a great time to have a look back at the past 12 months. And what a year it has been for Axeleo! We were very fortunate to meet the amazing founders we are working with today. In 2019, Axeleo Capital made 5 new investments in Seed (Citalid, Joko, DataHawk, Bliink, InUse) and 4 Series A (Alsid, Hyperlex, Jenji, Trustpair). Based on our unique acceleration & investment model, we then accelerated those companies reaching amazing milestones, growing teams and increasing MRR. In addition to that, we have been helping corporates develop their innovation programs and accelerators (such as APICIL at H7). We also grew our community, our events, and our international conference B2B Rocks.

What to expect in 2020? A brand new format based on events and networking opportunities for the B2B community, new talents joining the team, new startup founders growing with us, more portfolio companies reaching Series A, and more announcements to come.
