Growing ideas into companies

Anamcara is a pre-/seed fund investing in software, AI and agentic B2B companies in core European markets.

We back founders who think differently, who are going against the grain, who are not afraid to be the first or to be contrarian. We look for founders who have something to prove and are building generational companies with a global mindset. We like to invest early and write angel size checks.

Anamcara means ‘soul friend’, a person with who can share anything with without judgment. Our mission is to build meaningful partnerships with our founders and to help them achieve greatness.

“It is not manufactured or achieved by an act of will or intention but an act of recognition.”

– John O’Donohue, author of Anam Cara

We like to be an entrepreneurial sparring partner, throughout the founders’ journey of growing and scaling their companies.

We are committed to building valuable partnerships. We aim to collaborate with founding teams that have unique domain insights, technical expertise, and product knowhow. We look for founders building B2B companies with a particular emphasis on vertical B2B, healthcare and financial services.

We invest in founders who have identified a massive market opportunity and who are determined to building category leaders (and makers) that are reshaping the future. Through Anamcara’s category expertise, strong operator and investor network we help our companies build foundations for accelerated growth and international expansion.
