About
Down-to-earth VCs with sky-high ambitions
We've raised $100m to back Europe's earliest-stage founders. We focus exclusively on pre-seed company building and bring our portfolio companies the startup experience and network we have built as entrepreneurs, VCs, business angels and investment bankers.
We provide founders with the concrete, pragmatic, stimulating and unreserved support they need during the first phase of their entrepreneurial journey.

Our way
Forget politics and unclear investment processes
Emblem is our firm, meaning you will always deal directly with the decision-makers.
We’re not here to play it safe
We have a bias toward high-risk / high-reward bets.
Taking you to Series A, no matter what
Helping our startups graduate to Series A is our craft and absolute responsibility.
We don’t leave any of our founders behind
Whatever their success over time, all of our entrepreneurs still matter to us.
No fixed rules for deal-making
We are flexible on equity stake, board seat, lead/co-lead/follower role and check size.
Closing the founder-VC distance is our obsession
We want to be helpful, honest, challenging and impactful with our founders. But mostly, close to them.
