Funding for the odd ones out
We’re henQvc , the Venture Capital fund for B2B software startups. We back the best European founders with €1M-€10M tickets.
Approach
Approach
We like any early stage B2B software business that is simply a little different, whether your market is considered “too boring” by some, your business model a little atypical, or your founder-passion bordering on obsession.
Before we invest
Conversation about things you actually care about.
No need to build decks or investor pleasing models, we work with the documents and metrics that you use to steer the business.
Days rather than weeks between first meeting & signed term sheet. The market may change its pace, we never do.
After we invest
Deeply committed investor that aims for a 100% hit rate: no spray and pray with us, you will be 1 of the 3 companies we invest in each year.
A shareholder that dares to say “I don’t know” and lets you run the business in the way you see fit. No pushing for influence or of bad ideas.
When we do something, we do it well: the best support in hiring, fundraising & target setting.
henQvc companies use less funding and dilute less to grow to 10M ARR / annualized net revenue than the average VC backed business.
We are fine if you want to build a sustainable business without ever raising VC funding again. If you do decide to raise: as a henQ portfolio company your chances of raising a proper follow-on round are 2,7x better than the market average.
Portfolio
henQ invests in founders rather than markets. We never back a company that competes with one of our own. Have a look for yourself.
