Senovo
Senovo focuses on early stage B2B SaaS investments. We fund outstanding entrepreneurs and teams building world class products, and generally get involved soon after product launch, during the Series A. Our typical investment size is EUR 300k - 1m, with reserves to support the team in later rounds.
Whether we lead or co-invest with a partner, we believe it is beneficial for startups to have complementary investors and usually syndicate our investments. So the rounds are typically EUR 1-5m investment in total.
We're a small team with backgrounds in business, law, computer science and physics, and our aim is to provide entrepreneurs with full-stack support. We believe that startups are a team effort, that data fuels great products, and that fast iterations are superior to big-bang releases. We view venture capital as a product for entrepreneurs, and work with you through the ups and downs.
