Profile
42CAP is currently investing from its 4th fund (€100m) in early-stage technology companies across Europe with global ambition. The team behind 42CAP are seasoned entrepreneurs turned investors. With Hybris and eCircle they previously built two of Europe's largest B2B software companies culminating in $1.6b cash exits to SAP and Teradata respectively. The 42CAP credo “Peers amongst Entrepreneurs” is reflected in our investment approach, with which we support B2B data- and technology-driven business models, product-focused founders and sustainable venture development.
