Investment thesis

DeBa Ventures is a Luxembourg-based early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2023 by fintech entrepreneurs. Its mission is to "uncover, nurture, and elevate the entrepreneurs who are shaping the future" of fintech. The firm prioritizes B2B, fintech, AI, and SaaS companies globally — without geographic limitations — offering flexible ticket sizes from $100k to $500k across pre-seed, seed, and growth phases. Founded by operators who have personally navigated the startup journey (including a successful exit via iyzico's $165M acquisition by PayU/Prosus), DeBa Ventures offers not just capital but hands-on mentorship, strategic sessions, and network access. The firm also distinguishes itself through a unique 10% profit-share model, allocating a tenth of its returns back to the employees of portfolio companies as a "give back" to those who drive value creation.
