SCOPE

Lead where others don't dare

We make bold bets on founding teams that are fully committed, have strong IP, and solve big problems — even before they show any traction. We build together as partners, through good times and bad, and lead their funding rounds up to Series A.

    We found in EGV a true partner: they invested in our first round and have been working with us ever since.
