As Christmas and the end of the year approach, we take a moment to look back on what 2023 meant for us and our community ????. ?? In May this year, we opened our new fund! ???HEARTFELT_ was born to back founders from the first day of their entrepreneurial journeys. That’s why we are Europe’s First Cheque Fund. Our first half year has been a wild and beautiful one: ???We’ve welcomed 39 amazing founders from 18 new startups to the Heartfelt family! ???Our team has grown with two killer new investors! Welcome Robert Martin and Sascha Argiro, we couldn’t be happier with your unique talents! ???39% of our new investments are led by founders who identify as female! ?? ???Our APX portfolio companies are doing stellar jobs and have raised great new rounds! ???We’ve partnered with amazing co-investors, amongst them are Y Combinator, LocalGlobe, Visionaries Club, Kibo Ventures, Speedinvest, La Famiglia , Seedcamp, 468 Capital, Owl Ventures, FoodLabs, Eurazeo, HV Capital, Antler, Earlybird Venture Capital, Fuel Ventures ??, Hustle Fund, Porsche Ventures, Founder Collective, Samsara Ventures, LEA Partners, and many more!
