Arches Capital

Arches Capital is an angel investment group based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, founded in 2018. The firm focuses on early-stage companies poised for rapid growth, primarily in sectors such as financial technology, data science, commerce, cybersecurity, and medical technology. By combining the strategic funding approach of venture capitalists with the personal engagement of business angels, Arches Capital aims to provide not just financial support but also valuable business knowledge and mentorship. Each investment involves a subset of its seasoned investors, known as 'Archangels,' who actively participate in the company's development. A lead investor from this group takes on an advisory role, ensuring effective communication and collaboration with the founders. This hands-on involvement helps ignite the growth potential of portfolio companies, and Arches Capital also seeks to facilitate follow-on investments for successful ventures, distinguishing itself from traditional angel syndicates.
