They have been active investors since 2009, and they concentrate on companies leveraging technology, specifically software, to improve broken customer experiences. With a penchant for healthcare, due to its evident need for better customer solutions, ProFounders Capital commits to innovative companies that address various broken customer experiences across industries. When investing, they provide an initial amount ranging from 500k to 3m euros, either as lead investors or as part of a syndicate. They prioritize disruptive B2B and B2C business models that use technology to transform the way customers interact with services and products. ProFounders Capital's investment approach is highly selective, as they meet with thousands of companies annually but only invest in 6-8, ensuring a deep commitment to the ventures they support. This commitment is not just financial but also includes support and time, indicating a true partnership. They base their relationships with founders on honesty and straightforward communication, valuing openness and the ability to ask and address tough questions. Their support system recognizes the hardships of building a successful business and is designed to partner with companies through both challenges and successes. The portfolio showcases examples of their investment thesis in action, including companies that enhance travel experiences, offer luxury vacation stays at affordable prices, connect hourly workers to employers, expand the reach of gaming applications, facilitate language learning like a native, and improve metabolic health. Headquartered in London, ProFounders Capital is also noted for compliance with regulatory standards, being authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
