What we love about Krotos:

With virtual/remote working becoming the norm, and endless demand for high-quality content putting more and more pressure on producers time, Krotos is uniquely placed to empower the next generation of content creators to easily design, perform, and implement sound — from their homes without the need for a costly studio.

It didn’t take us long to get excited by what Orfeas and his team were building with Krotos, and it’s been a pleasure working alongside him in closing his round, led by George and his team from Metavallon.

Since their seed round, which had participation from the ex-President of Rockstar North, Krotos has worked with thousands of content creators across 65 countries to provide the tools they need to design the sound for hits such as The Jungle Book, Star Trek, and Frozen.

Orfeas Boteas (CEO & Founder) is an industry expert, having initially founded Krotos as a project during his time at University. Since then he has assembled a team and advisory board of individuals with deep sector knowledge and extensive connections across the spectrum of content creation.

We partnered on Krotos’s raise to support the team in closing their pre-A funding round required to take the company to the next level and serve the new generation of content creators.

This involved preparing a compelling deck, a robust and sensitised financial model, market opportunity analysis, competition analysis, and unit economics evolution over time, to help management articulate the clear potential of the product.

Mountside helped us improve our slide deck and reached out to a lot of investors on our behalf, saving us a lot time and they were always available to help us with the process when needed.

We are super happy to welcome Krotos as the latest investment in the Metavallon I portfolio. We believe that Krotos has already a proven solution and an impressive clientele worldwide. With the funds from the round, Krotos will be able to broaden its user base to the milllions of content creators out there. As a result, we expect exponential growth of sales.

We are also happy because Orfeas has clear plans to base a significant part of future activities in Greece.
