NewSchool VC

Profile

NewSchool VC is a venture capital firm focused on pre-seed and seed-stage investments in B2B technology companies. Based in Belgium and spearheaded by solo General Partner Christophe Morbee, the firm was founded as a vehicle to provide financial and operational support to tech startups. With a unique approach, Morbee, who is also CEO of besox, brings his extensive experience in payroll and HR services to his role as a fund manager. The firm is distinguished by its high-velocity investment strategy and a strong focus on go-to-market execution rather than merely technology investments.

NewSchool VC invests primarily in B2B technology sectors, focusing on AI, SaaS, cybersecurity, robotics, and compliance. The firm targets companies automating or modernizing traditional industries, primarily within Belgium, with a smaller portion of capital focused on Europe. With a fund size of €10 million, the typical check size ranges from €100,000 to €500,000, encapsulating their strategy of smaller, volume-driven investments. The investor base is skewed towards operators and entrepreneurs, providing founders with access to a network of experienced people who have built and exited companies.

The firm's portfolio already includes 32 companies such as Warren, Spotable, Cashfeed, Ravical, Donna, Dalton, Feedelity, Alice Law, Exhibitly, Talentir, and Outline. These investments span fintech, legal tech, media, and B2B software, reflecting its sector-agnostic approach. Despite its high-volume investment strategy, the firm's challenge lies in managing its portfolio's growth amidst limited follow-on funding for later stages.
