Investment thesis

Founded in 2018, ETFS Capital is a London-based venture capital firm investing in early-stage European fintech businesses. ETFS Capital's mission is to partner with extraordinary founders who are seeking to disrupt their industry. The team is formed of fintech industry veterans, who have developed deep industry knowledge and a genuine philosophy around partnering with founders. With a history in the investment management and capital markets space in particular, ETFS Capital leverages its networks and experience to provide lasting value that supports long-term relationships. Our preference is to play a lead role at the series A stage. That said, we are equally comfortable both co-leading or participating in rounds. We will only invest into a small number of companies each year ensuring that we are able to actively support founders post investment.

Notable quotes

Financial advice is a heavily regulated space and it is difficult for FinTech platforms to break through unless they truly understand how to manage and enable operations for their customers. For the past six years, we have been building Fundment as the all-in-one tech platform to support a financial advice firm's every need so they can dedicate more time to delivering value to customers. We now have over 500 firms relying on Fundment, but we're still in the early stages of our journey. I'm delighted to have the backing of Highland Europe and look forward to working with the knowledgeable team there as we scale Fundment.

Ola Abdul · Fundment Series C announcement · 2025-01-20

I always felt that fundraising was considered too much of an economic model. This is why we were keen to achieve profitability before reinvesting in development: Milestone achieved! I join the 50 Neaters to proudly announce that Neat Protect has secured €50 million in Series A funding!
