Scalable models
The announcement comes six months after launching a new investment fund to make 25-35 investments by 2027, exclusively using EPOS agreements.
FounderFuel: Community for founders and investors
Founded by Max Schalow and Chingiskhan Kazakhstan, FounderFuel initially served as an informal community for founders and investors, aiming to replicate a Silicon Valley experience in The Netherlands.
The Dutch VC, with a 7-member team, accelerates deal closure within two months using its startup community.
Investment tickets come from operators, angels, and founders, backed by support from notable figures like Tommy Hurley from Shamrock Ventures, who is a member of the FounderFuel investment committee.
