Why Fintech. Why Europe.
Backing the infrastructure of modern finance
Fintech is no longer a vertical. It is horizontal infrastructure.
Financial services are becoming embedded across software, commerce and digital ecosystems.
Agentic workflows, programmable finance and tokenization are rebuilding core infrastructure. Enterprise data is becoming financial.
Europe remains under-invested relative to its talent, regulatory maturity and global competitiveness.
We believe this creates a generational opportunity to build globally significant financial infrastructure businesses from Europe.
