In short, we help founders keep their equity and LPs keep their sleep: Smart Capital for Smart Growth. We offer minimally dilutive capital to early-stage B2B companies across Southern and Northern Europe, typically those with proven models, solid unit economics, and often backed by Tier-1 VCs. Growth debt funds start at €3M and Banks won’t lend below €5M. The €1–3M ticket range is totally underserved. This is the sweet spot we own and that’s where GPI thrives. We fill the gap between traditional growth lenders, which are too big to write small cheques, and VCs, who overprice it. Where others see small tickets, we see asymmetric returns.

Enzo Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm backing the best tech founders in Europe, with a primary investment focus on Southern Europe. We write the first check and stay close throughout the entire journey, from day zero to exit. Our approach carries a distinctly Mediterranean spirit. We value long-term relationships over transactional dynamics, build tight-knit communities around our portfolio, and bring the patience and conviction to back founders before anyone else does.
