Investment thesis

Yolo Investments is a fund manager investing in "truly outstanding people with bright ideas, who are innovating and disrupting the norm in igaming, fintech & crypto." The firm leverages over a decade of hands-on experience building world-class iGaming products and services through the Yolo Group ecosystem, deploying capital from its regulated €100m Fund II (domiciled in Guernsey) at late seed, Series A, and growth stages with a sweet-spot ticket of ~€5m. Fund III ($250m, FSRA-authorised in Abu Dhabi) extends the mandate globally with a MENA concentration, backing entrepreneurs who "move money" at the convergence of fintech, crypto, and gaming — areas where the team believes agentic AI workflows, faster GCC payment rails, and regulated crypto infrastructure are creating the next wave of breakout companies.

Notable quotes

We're absolutely thrilled to be closing our raise for Fund II having hit our target. This took place during challenging market conditions, with global VC fundraising facing significantly more headwinds compared with previous vintages. But investors have looked at our previous funds' track record and the strength of our ecosystem, and have strongly backed us.

Our thesis remains what it has always been: backing entrepreneurs who move money. Fund III builds on Fund II's 51.6% net IRR and 1.36x TVPI, with a global mandate and a MENA concentration.

Over the last few years, Yolo Investments has grown from a simple philosophy to leverage General Partner expertise, capital and network to help early-stage companies thrive into an established Venture Capital fund with more than half a billion euros in assets under management. With the launch of Yolo Fund II, we are even better placed to identify and support high-growth potential opportunities across gaming, fintech, and blockchain.
