European Capital Partners |
A Partnership of European Entrepreneurs
Based in London, Paris, and Madrid, the partners own online media
and
technology companies. The partnership pools capital, know-how and a network of
contacts. We have sales forces in
three countries,
and a strong technical development capability in Spain. We pool several hundred staff, hundreds
of
server racks,
and substantial telecom and data-center facilities.
Mid-way between an angel investment club and corporate
investment vehicle, we invest in, acquire or partner with online media
and technology companies. Our aim is to exploit fully our existing portfolio of
projects. Typically we joint venture by providing our technology to sales
partners, or, taking technology to sell through our sales teams.
Our biggest investment has been €8 million, our smallest
€30,000. We are interested in early stage investments in online service and
technology niches with global potential.
Several of the partners have been members of IPO teams, and have extensive experience in managing the transition
from small private to large public company. But we concentrate mostly on company creation rather than administration.
We are specially interested in opportunities with local players in continental Europe and expanding
reach of the company world-wide.
