About
Balderton Capital is a leading European-focused early-stage venture capital firm. We like entrepreneurs who think big, with grand plans to build global-scale businesses. Balderton primarily invests at the Series A stage, after a startup has developed a product and gained some traction, however we will sometimes invest earlier. We invest only in technology companies founded in Europe.
