Our vision

We want to optimize the access to capital for startups as well as generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our clients. We do this by blending traditional VC investing with the additional know-how of leading angel investors.

We
are
Pan-European

We have grown and nurtured close relationships with 70+ of Europe's leading accelerators, incubators, and universities.

With these partnerships in more than 15 countries, we are well-positioned to find the next European unicorns.

Community

BlackWood's dedicated investor club counts over 1,200 angel investors, whom each bring diverse expertise, experiences, and personal networks to the table.

When we invest in a startup, we enable our investor club to co-invest with us, to support the founders we chose to work with.

Systematic

We leverage artificial intelligence to conduct a deep analysis of the value proposition, strategy, team, and financial aspects of every startup we look at.​

This systematic approach allows us to analyze over 300 startups per month within fintech, web 3.0, and cleantech.

Builders

Our team has founded multiple successful companies, with €100m+ exits, so we know what it takes. We understand the challenges that startups face during the earliest stages and can help avoid common pitfalls by leveraging our experience and network.

We look for bold ideas and visionary entrepreneurs, just like us.
