We back you with capital, network, and all the tools you need to win.
We back you with:
We don't just invest in your company.
We invest in your vision and help you make it reality.
We started First Degree in 2024 to fill a gap in the ecosystem.
To be the partner we wish we had when we were building companies.
For founders, a First Degree connection changes everything.
We open doors, speed up decisions, and bring our whole network.
We're actively looking for brilliant teams to back.
Ready to move fast, provide capital, and make meaningful introductions.
Because your success is the only metric that matters to us.
We don't just identify opportunities — we accelerate them.
Early signals, trusted intros, strategic advice — the kind of support that turns potential into performance.
Our speed isn't about rushing decisions. It's about removing friction.
When we say we're in, we're in now — not after three more committees.
We don't pretend to understand everything.
We stay in our lane — and go deep.
No MedTech, FinTech, ClimateTech, or industries we can't add value in.
We invest in big tools that change how we work.
B2B. Productivity. Collaboration. AI-powered. That's it.
We don't chase the globe.
We're rooted in Europe.
Yes, there are exceptions — Tel Aviv, Istanbul — but don't expect us in Asia, Australia, or Silicon Valley.
We're not a growth fund.
So no Series B, C, or late-stage deals.
Too big. Too late. Too slow.
We go in early — when vision, speed, and access matter most.
That's where we show up. That's where we win.
Let us tell you why we'd be a great partner for your journey.
