Arches Capital launches first fund of 20 million!
Arches Capital, the company that uses money from around a hundred affiliated angels assisting startups in the very earliest phase, is launching a 'real' fund of 20 million euros. The money is mainly intended to continue investing in the existing portfolio. 'We believe that the greatest opportunities lie in the earliest phase.'
The Arches Capital Fund is intended for pre-seed and seed investments in startups from 250K to 1 million, but also for follow-up rounds of up to tens of millions of euros. In the coming years, the new fund wants to invest in twenty new startups and conduct several follow-up rounds, led by partners Frank Appeldoorn, Diederik Stolk and Lotte Smit van Ditshuizen.

Angels, and certainly angel organisations such as Arches Capital, fill a gap in the capital market that seems to be increasing despite the activities of pre-seed specialists such as Shamrock Ventures, Lumo Labs and an accelerator such as Antler.

A conversation with Etta Lathan-Pons!
Meet Etta Lathan-Pons ! Etta founded Etta Studio. Etta Studio creates a cool closet for a cooler planet. The brand is based on the simple motto 'Nothing New Here'. With the increased popularity of upcycled fashion, Etta Studio is focused on removing the idea that the concept of upcycling is anything new or intimidating.
In this conversation, we discussed Etta’s journey to becoming an entrepreneur, being committed to sustainable fashion, and her advice for fellow women who want to start their entrepreneurial journey. You can shop the beautiful pieces of Etta Studio in BOAS, ABCnD in Amsterdam and Infinite Goods in New York City.
