Balderton Capital is a venture capital firm based in London with an office in Berlin that backs European technology companies from seed to growth stages. The firm focuses on innovative enterprises in areas such as enterprise software and services, communications and security, semiconductors, e-commerce, consumer internet and software, mobile computing, consumer services, media and online media, fintech and financial services. It concentrates its investments in European companies, with a stronger emphasis on France, Spain and Portugal, while remaining opportunistic about opportunities outside Europe.

It avoids investments in life sciences and clean technology sectors.
