Balderton Capital presents almost €1.2 billion between early and growth funds
Summary
According to the VC, the increasingly global mix of LPs in the firm’s funds have been attracted to Balderton’s European focus and track record of success during its 25 year history. The reasons for this are not surprising or new: world class institutions and engineers, a growing culture of entrepreneurialism, a developed funding ecosystem and, increasingly, third and fourth generation founders. The current portfolio includes global category leaders like Revolut, Dream Games, GoCardless, Contentful, Aircall, Wayve, Writer and PhotoRoom. Balderton’s investment history spans technology sectors including AI, fintech, B2B SaaS, digital health, mobility, gaming and marketplaces. Beyond the hands-on support from its investment team, who have invaluable operational and entrepreneurial experience, Balderton offers a range of services to its founders and portfolio companies, including a platform comprising experts in legal, finance, talent and people, marketing and sustainability; industry veterans with decades of experience as startup builders and operators, with expertise in areas including sales, engineering, product and legal; and a community of more than 700 leading European technology executives from across the portfolio, who come together for peer support, networking and events.
