About

Passion Capital, founded in 2011 and based in London, is a prominent early-stage venture capital firm focusing on technology startups. The firm was established by Eileen Burbidge, Robert Dighero, and Stefan Glaenzer, all successful entrepreneurs. Passion Capital is known for its hands-on approach, providing not only funding but also mentorship and strategic advice to its portfolio companies. Passion Capital has a strong track record of backing successful startups, including well-known names like Monzo, the digital bank; GoCardless, a payment processing company; and Lendable, a platform for personal loans. They invest primarily in sectors such as information technology, TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecommunications), IoT (Internet of Things), mobile, infrastructure, and SaaS (Software as a Service) within Europe. The firm typically invests in companies at the seed stage and often leads the funding rounds. Their investment philosophy emphasizes a strong relationship with founders, aiming to support and guide them through the early challenges of scaling their businesses. The founding partners bring extensive experience and have been instrumental in shaping Europe's technology landscape. Passion Capital also made headlines by opening up part of their latest £45 million fund to retail investors via crowdfunding, a first for a European VC firm. This innovative approach reflects their commitment to democratizing access to venture capital investments.
