Thank you to everyone who joined us at the European Founder Conference 2024 at Mansion House last week. The event brought together 50 of our founders from across Europe, along with 300 attendees, including over 100 VCs—representing more than 50% of the European early-stage venture capital scene. We were privileged to have some of the continent's largest sovereign wealth funds on stage, including British Patient Capital, KfW and Danmarks Eksport- og Investeringsfond, discussing growth opportunities that exist right now in European tech. A special highlight was hearing from founders Philip Belamant of Zilch and Alex Tew of Calm who shared their experiences and insights into the pressures of building unicorns. Their stories underscore the resilience and innovation driving our community forward. It was great to join those in the European tech ecosystem and share the opportunities coming out of our portfolio - and how Antler’s network plays a central role in bringing their innovation to life. Special thanks to our sponsors, Zendesk, Nscale and Deel for their support in making this event a success. #AntlerEFC2024 #Innovation #StartupSuccess #EuropeanTech #Entrepreneurship

✨As we conclude this amazing year, we proudly commemorate significant milestones achieved at Revaia. Our journey towards establishing ourselves as a key growth tech fund in Europe started five years ago, driven by a vision centered around performance, sovereignty, and sustainability. Our commitment to purposeful investment led us to support the most ambitious tech entrepreneurs in Europe, empowering them to build global, sustainable leadership positions. ✨Throughout this transformative journey, we have remained steadfast in our original mission of building sustainable tech champions from Europe. Gratitude is extended to our exceptional entrepreneurs, dedicated investors, and the Revaia team, as together, we've curated a portfolio featuring 15 companies boasting €1 billion in cumulative recurring revenue and employing 4,000 individuals. Since our initial investments, these companies have raised over €250 million and are well on their way to becoming the sustainable global leaders that we first envisioned. ✨The exemplary efforts and execution of our managers and entrepreneurs have positioned Revaia in the top quartile of European funds. Recent success has further solidified investor confidence, leading to the renewal of commitments and the attraction of new backers, culminating in the recent €150 million first institutional closing of our second fund. We have now raised €400 across our two funds, and we expect more soon. 🙏Heartfelt gratitude is extended to our partners, teams, and investors for their unwavering support. ✨As we bid farewell to 2023, laden with cherished moments, we eagerly anticipate the surprises that the upcoming year holds. Gain insight into our journey by watching this brief video ⬇️ or exploring our blog article (https://lnkd.in/ehedVgRJ) for a comprehensive overview of the significant events spanning the past five years. 💫 For now, we extend warm wishes for you and your loved ones to relish a restful and joyous break, ushering in a fantastic start to 2024!

Accelerating startups, business angels and startup ecosystems. Angel investor. Consortia lead and program manager. Accelerator manager 10+ years, over 500 startups under the belt.
Exiting events continue - next week on Monday I will facilitate a workshop on EBAN - European Business Angel Network annual congress in Tallinn: Beyond Borders, Beyond Barriers: Unlocking Startup Funding in the EU. As angels we face various challenges when funding startups: is there enough funding available, are there rules limiting investment into startups, should there be government co-funding to de-risk angel investments, are there special needs for deep-techs', are the defence startups next hype and much more. At the same time, there’s a growing hungry pipeline full of opportunities! I'm excited to find out what Nina Dremelj (Slovenia), Roberta Rudokiene (Lithuania), Cyril Golub (Latvia), and Tiina Laisi-Puheloinen (Finland) will bring on table from Investment Ecosystem Roundtables held just before the congress. And that's not it - this discussion will be conducted in a Fishbowl format 🐟 🐠 🐡 🦈 🦐. You have the opportunity to join the speakers in the main circle and share your own experience! We encourage investors to jump in and contribute to this collaborative environment! The workshop is organised by Civitta, Estonian Business Angels Network (EstBAN) and #Connect2Scale program for business angels & VC's! And this is still not all! We are organising also the 3rd day of EBAN conference: Explore Program! It is in 2 tracks: 🦄 GROWING UNICORNS, and 🇪🇪 ESSENCE OF ESTONIA Both have limited amount of participants (max 50), so hurry up and secure your spot! I can secretly tell that in one of those we have just very few spots left! 👀 PS: If you haven't secured your ticket yet, then there's still a chance - I suggest you to purchase EBAN + Latitude59 tickets: Civitta is happily on board on both of those flagship events! 🚀
