The (Visionaries) era is here

In this era of upheaval, obsession beats playbooks, ambition beats size and conviction beats consensus. We back those who run toward the fire and follow one simple rule: connecting the top 0.1% with the top 0.1%.

The Visionaries Era: Hungry beats big.

We burned the map.

We're in the middle of the fastest transformation any of us will ever witness. The old frameworks are being shredded to pieces. Anyone who tells you they know what comes next is fooling themselves.

We don’t pretend to have all the answers.

What we know is this: in every era of upheaval, one thing has mattered more than any other. Not capital, thesis or strategy.

The person. The one who wakes up obsessed, works with Herculean power, and still goes to sleep unsatisfied, having yet more to offer to this world.

AI will flatten every advantage except that one.

So we're doing the one thing we know how to: We back those who run toward the fire. 

And we run toward it ourselves. Every morning, we wake up with one ambition: to build the defining venture firm of this era. Not on the back of past laurels.

Because in moments of reset, the future doesn’t care that much about our past.

Instead, our edge comes from the same force we look for in founders: Obsession.

Because in every generational shift:

Obsession beats playbooks.

Ambition beats size.

Conviction beats consensus.

Hungry beats big.

We reject the institutional bloat that defines much of today’s VC industry.

Multistage firms have industrialised venture, scaling VC platforms like tech companies. But no amount of scaling can take away from the fact that venture is an outlier business. 

So we follow one very simple rule:

Connecting the top 0.1% with the top 0.1%.

The founders redefining the future deserve nothing less than those who have already built it once. That’s why we are backed by a select group of the world’s most iconic entrepreneurs from tech to industry.

Our Tech Entrepreneurs, the founders and operators behind companies like Lovable, Hugging Face, UiPath, DeepMind, Miro, Adyen, Spotify, FlixBus or Personio have just been through your journey and are ready to help you do the same. They do not stand at the sidelines, but come from the trenches. They’ve felt the weight of responsibility, the adrenaline of product launches, the grind of global expansion, and the pain of near-failure.

Our Industrial Family Entrepreneurs such as Swarovski, Mittal, Haniel, Stihl, Henkel, Siemens, Oetker, Fiege or Viessmann give our founders direct access to over 90% of the most consequential industrial family businesses and with that, an unfair head start in product validation, procurement cycles and scaling in an AI world where speed matters more than ever before.

Together with these minds, we are building a fundamentally new model of venture for the most tectonic shift in the history of technology:

The Visionaries.
