We are one of Europe’s longest-standing, pure early-stage investors. Our mission is simple: to back Europe’s next generation of outlier founders.
Genius and courage
Founded in 2007, Heartcore was built on our passion of working with outlier founders at the intersection of technology and human aspirations.
Value-add
Trustworthy and aligned strategic guidance
Follow-on financing from top global VCs
Support in building outstanding teams
Deeply aligned with our founders, we now manage over €700M in assets, with over €400M returned to LPs, allowing us to support our founders in the long run.
First investor in European outliers
We have backed more than 100 companies, with 65 companies currently active in the portfolio. We have helped create over €10B in enterprise value. But like many of you who are reading this, we feel like we are just getting started.
Championing founders. Founders are our customers; LPs are our shareholders.
Many European investors have an “asset management” approach to venture capital, with a focus on financials and metrics and little understanding of the challenges of building a rapidly-growing business. We are committed to a long-term trusting and caring relationship - from inception to liquidity. Heartcore is a partner that can be relied on. Our founder NPS is second to none.
Respect for the journey. Being a founder is hard. And so you deserve capital that is respectful of and empathic with the entrepreneurial journey.
There will be times that are tough (there always are). And that's when we want to be by your side. To have your back and to nudge you forward. Sometimes we will disagree. But we will always do so with humility and empathy for the journey you have courageously chosen to be on.
Get in touch if you’d like to talk to us about your company.
The best way to reach us is via someone we mutually know. Alternatively, you can also reach us at team@heartcore.com.
