Airbridge is an Amsterdam-based venture capital investor. Founded by successful entrepreneurs, we take a pragmatic and direct approach to investing in scalable European technology companies. Due to our entrepreneurial DNA, we dont rely on a one size fits all approach. Instead, we aim to actively support founders in scaling their business in ways that best fit their needs. Overall, Airbridge looks for companies with proven commercial traction, and invests between 1 and 5 million initially. Currently, we are actively investing out of our second EUR 63mln fund, AEP II, which was launched at the start of 2023. Previously, we have exited companies to large strategics like GoDaddy and Cisco.
