Notable quotes
“At the heart, our focus is investing in growth companies at Series B and later. The fund size is a natural evolution and means that we can be a more meaningful partner to the companies we invest in, leading the investment rounds with more flexibility to help companies with their funding needs.”
“Sustainability is an important focus for us, particularly within the marketplace segment where the focus often is on prolonging the lifetime of products and lowering the pressure of new production.”
“Sprints has been awarded a gold ranking in PitchBook's 2024 Manager Performance Score League Tables — putting us in the Top 5 growth funds worldwide. This ranking follows strong compounding profit growth across all Sprints funds since inception.”
