    We are not only the most active investor globally, but also one of the most selective - investing in ~0.3% of our dealflow across Europe and globally. We are backers of outlier companies around the world such as Airalo (Asia), Lovable (Europe) or Reebelo (US). We think of success as being a long-term partner to our portfolio, continuously investing in each round - from the very inception all the way to your Series C. We operate out of offices across 6 continents, including Austin, New York, London, Berlin, Munich, Stockholm, Bangalore, Amsterdam, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, and Sydney. Our global community of more than 1,500 portfolio companies covers a wide range of industries and technologies, each solving an important and urgent problem. We invest both in hardware as well as software, in B2B as well as B2C (as well as B2G, B2B2C, ...) and various sectors including climatetech, cybersecurity, deeptech, healthtech, fintech and many more. We are constantly looking for the strongest and most driven founders as they embark on the journey of building their next company.
