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 don't 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.

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of ambitious students for an exclusive Inhouse Day at our Amsterdam office. Hosted together with the Financial Study association Amsterdam, we explored the world of venture capital. Sharing insights on how we evaluate startups, and what it takes to scale a business. The highlight? A hands-on investment case, where students stepped into the role of VC investors—analyzing a startup, debating risks and opportunities, and pitching their final verdicts. A big thank you to everyone who joined and made this an engaging session 💪 At Airbridge Equity Partners we are currently looking for a new candidate to fill our intern position. If you are interested, feel free to share you resume and motivation at pepijn@airbridge.nl #VentureCapital #Airbridge #FutureInvestors #Startups #InhouseDay
