Peak

Peak Capital is a European venture capital firm founded in 2008, focused on early-stage investments in SaaS, marketplaces, and platform businesses. With a fund size of €125 million, Peak backs companies across Europe, particularly in the Nordics, DACH, and Benelux regions. The firm supports its portfolio companies from Pre-Seed to Series B, providing initial investments ranging from €250,000 to €4 million. Peak is distinguished by its founder-funded approach, meaning it is fully backed by successful entrepreneurs. This hands-on, founder-centric philosophy allows Peak to bring deep industry insights and operational expertise to the startups they invest in. The firm tends to lead investment rounds, but they also co-invest when appropriate, offering a wide network of connections for follow-on funding. Peak has made over 50 investments, including companies like Channable, United Wardrobe (acquired by Vinted), and Dyme, focusing on disruptive solutions in e-commerce, SaaS, and digital platforms. Their approach emphasizes strong teams, scalability, and market readiness, avoiding crowded markets or businesses with small ambitions.
