Investment thesis

20VC operates at the intersection of venture capital and media, using Harry Stebbings' flagship podcast platform and content brands (20Growth, 20Sales, 20Product) to source deals and support portfolio companies. The firm backs exceptional founders building technology companies across Europe and North America, from pre-seed through Series A. As Stebbings has stated: 'We leverage media to be the best investor.' Fund III ($400M, closed October 2024) allocates $125M to seed investments ($100K–$3M checks) and $275M to Series A rounds ($5M–$15M checks), with LPs including MIT, Harvard, Sequoia Heritage, Thrive Capital, RIT Capital Partners, and 40+ unicorn founders.

Notable quotes

We leverage media to be the best investor.

Harry Stebbings · Financial Times interview, October 2024 · 2024-10

The work you do in private is the work you are rewarded for in public. Today's news is 10 years in the making. $400M raised. Time to get back to work and work harder than ever.

Harry Stebbings · LinkedIn post on Fund III close, Vestbee, October 2024 · 2024-10-18

A good level of diversification for an early-stage fund is 30 companies and so with this fund size, I would recommend 32 investments with an average of $250K per company. No one is that good a picker.
