Profile

We created the early-stage venture fund we wish had existed when we started our first companies. What we bring to the table:

Considerable company building experience (zero to IPO, plenty of failures)
A massive network of engaged supporters (Cavalry is backed by 150+ well-connected individuals)
A very strong track record with an 80%+ Series A follow-on quota by the world’s top funds

We keep things simple. We are upfront and no bullshit. We won't ruin your life with months of unnecessary due diligence. We won't renegotiate and grind you on terms. We are long-term.

What we are particularly looking for

Outstanding founding team with founder/market fit
Big vision to build a substantial company in a large market
Ability to build an amazing product

Our investment focus

We invest in software businesses across Europe
We like to lead financing rounds and leave room open to complement the rounds with great angels
Initial investment between 500k and 2m EUR with some flexibility
We do priced rounds and convertibles
We are interested in consumer as well as enterprise
