Investment thesis

Headline (formerly e.ventures) is a global, data-driven venture capital firm that invests across categories — from software and AI applications to consumer and fintech — leading rounds at every stage. The firm operates autonomous, regionally-focused early-stage funds in the US, Europe, Asia, and Brazil that invest locally, complemented by a San Francisco-based Global Growth Fund that invests from Series B and beyond. This 'local-to-global' model, combined with a proprietary technology operating system (EVA + ATHENA) that tracks 10M+ startups, allows Headline to identify winning founders early and help scale their success globally. Headline's early-stage funds write checks of $1.5M–$15M into Seed and Series A companies, while the Growth Fund deploys $15M–$50M+ at Series B and beyond. The firm's investment philosophy is founder-first: 'Once we commit to a team, we go to the ends of the earth to help make their success global.' With more than $4B in AUM and a portfolio of 300+ companies including Sonos, Bumble, Farfetch, Mistral AI, goPuff, Acorns, and Segment, Headline unites deep local market expertise with a truly global network.
