    2013

    At Breega, we back world-class founders for the future. We’re not simple investors - we’re entrepreneurs who’ve built, scaled, and learned what it really takes to grow. Our forte is not just writing checks: it’s rolling up our sleeves - with our Scaling Squad, our portfolio companies get hands-on expertise in hiring, sales, marketing and strategy so they don’t just expand, they dominate. We partner with outliers rewriting the rules of Digital, Climate, and Deep Tech from pre-Seed to Series A+ across Europe and Africa. Since 2015, we’ve grown to €700M AUM, with main offices in London and Paris and deep roots in the most thriving tech hubs across both continents, as well as a portfolio of 110+ bold startups—Exotec, Alice & Bob, Moneybox, 011H, etc. - each pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
