Investment thesis

A.GAIN (formerly IDC Ventures) is a capital creation company investing across Technology and Sports & Entertainment. In technology, the firm backs companies building core infrastructure across systems — businesses with real revenue, clear use cases, and the ability to scale globally — with a primary focus on FinTech (the rails that carry liquidity and global transactions), Marketplaces & Platforms (connecting supply, demand, and work at scale), and Digital Assets & Capital Markets. The firm also operates Meridian Fund (technology behind the experience economy), VC4 (a fund-of-funds offering institutional-grade venture access across the US, Europe, and Latin America from pre-seed through growth stage), and RONDO (Sports & Entertainment). Founded in 2019 as the venture arm of IDC Network — a multi-fund platform with 30+ years of track record — A.GAIN manages approximately $1B in AUM, leads ~80% of rounds, holds board seats in ~85% of portfolio companies, and partners with 350+ family offices across 30+ countries. The firm invests across Europe, the US, and Latin America, with particular depth in fintech and marketplaces.

What started as IDC Ventures has grown into something bigger than venture capital. Today, we become A.GAIN. A platform designed to create capital across cycles, sectors, and structures.
