Balderton

Balderton is a pan-European, sector-agnostic venture firm backing ambitious European technology founders from Pre-Seed / Inception through Series A, with its growth strategy investing from Series B onward. Balderton looks for a clear European connection, such as a European founder, headquarters, office, or market presence. Its early-stage strategy writes initial checks from approximately $1M through $30M+, while its growth strategy can invest above $30M. Balderton originated in 2000 as Benchmark Europe, the European entity established by Benchmark Capital, and later became an independent firm focused exclusively on European founders.
