Six companies. Six people we'd back again tomorrow.

"I honestly feel like you're my co-founder. That's how deeply you think with us."
Portfolio founder, Founder Story
The Founder Story model

Everyone can be a founder.

You don't need capital to own a piece of a company. You need distribution. Make the content, drive the sales, earn the shares — and become part of the business you helped build.

01

Create

Clip it, post it, say it your way. Hundreds of creators, one company, every platform. The clip army — but with a reason to care.

02

Convert

Every sale is tracked to the creator who made it happen. Tiered payouts for new and repeat customers — the affiliate playbook, done properly.

03

Own

Hit the numbers, earn the equity. Shares vest on performance, not on who you know. Distribution becomes ownership.

Creators

Turn an audience into a stake. Stop renting your reach to brands and start owning part of one.

Founders

Stop buying attention. Give the people who move your product a reason to move it harder — a share of the upside.

Founder Story

We put the two together: the capital, the structure, the tracking, the cap table. One model, many owners.

Our thesis.

Every company that matters began as one person's story. We invest in that story early — and we stay in it.

01

The founder is the asset.

Markets shift, products pivot, decks get rewritten. The person doesn't. We back people who have lived the problem, who can't let it go, and who tell the truth when the numbers are bad.

02

Early is where conviction counts.

Pre-seed to Series B is where a cheque changes a life, not just a cap table. We write first cheques from €250K to €8M and keep reserves to follow on — because the second cheque is the one that proves we meant it.

03

Rooted in the Netherlands. Pointed at the UK.

We look at the world from Amsterdam. The UK is one of the biggest movers on the international field, so that's where our founders go first — then Germany, then London as a base. We know those markets because we've built in them.

04

Speed is respect.

A founder's time is the scarcest resource on the table. A clear yes, a clear no, or a clear question inside four weeks. Never silence, never a ghost.

05

Founders, backing founders.

We've built and run more than seven companies ourselves — SaaS, consumer apps, high-end property development. We don't send associates to board meetings. When it gets hard — and it always gets hard — you call someone who's been there.

From first cheque
to final exit.

Four ways we show up — and stay.

Capital, properly sized.

€250K to €8M first cheques with reserves to follow on. Sized to your plan, not our fund maths.

200+ founders

Honest, fast decisions.

A clear yes, a clear no, or a clear question — inside four weeks. Never silence.

Founders first — because we are.

Not career investors. People who built the thing, sold the thing, and did it again.

7+

Companies founded and run ourselves — not advised, run.

Track record
6 fields

SaaS, consumer apps, agencies, creator economy & personal branding, health, bricks & mortar.

Range
Inner circle

Years in consulting and coaching alongside the biggest names in the Netherlands.

Network
Reach

Distribution through the country's largest creators and influencers — around your business, not instead of it.

Distribution

That's what you get on the cap table: capital, yes — but also the people who've been exactly where you're standing, and the network to move faster than you could alone.

Every stage. Every hard week.

What we actually help with between rounds.
