“If you can’t invent the future, the next best thing is to fund it” — John Doerr, renowned VC.

Then why the hell has the general public been prohibited from investing into venture capital?! 🤷‍♂️

Luckily, we’re bound for a revolution of the private markets. Just like the one we saw for public stocks in the late 1900s. And it’s by time; for decades private markets have outperformed the public markets.

But for the vast majority, the model has been broken. Until now.

We’re introducing operator LP syndicates built to back the best emerging VCs with cash and superpowers ✊

So who are our members? They come from many different backgrounds, but are split across categories, more or less like this:

  • >50% are Founders & operators.
  • >40% are VCs & angels.
  • >20% are Ecosystem champions.
  • >10% are Limited Partners & Fund-of-Funds.

So, why do kickass operator LPs invest with us? For a mix of reasons, but primarily:

  • To build network and relationships with the hottest upcoming VCs across Europe.
  • To help create the next generation of VC champions. 10 days after launch we had 53 signed up to act as scouts, 62 to act as expert advisors & 42 to help portfolio companies.
  • To build insights & skills. Seems that the opportunity to observe best practice first hand while reaping LP returns is a pretty good combination for anyone thinking about breaking into VC.
  • To get exposure to the asset class that we all love 😍

So, how to get involved?

  • Join the EUVC Investment Club and let us know how you want to be involved. We always ask if you want to act as a scout, operator or expert so we can build the community around that.
  • Subscribe to get our memo’s & listen to our pod for in-depth interviews with VCs
  • Find and invest in the emerging VCs you love
  • Spread the word ! 📢
