Venture Partners is a radically human venture capital firm that invests in cutting edge European technology startups in the early stages (Seed to Series B, companies up to ~75 employees) Based in Amsterdam, we’re now investing from our second fund (c.€150m).

Our current portfolio companies include the likes of Crisp, Bodyguard, Lucinity, Gourmey, Lendis, Mollie, Klima, Plan A and many other great companies.
