KEY QUOTES:
“We have seen first-hand the emergence of a thriving European technology ecosystem over the past few years, and we are particularly impressed with the new crop of entrepreneurs who start their companies in Europe but have the ambition to win at global scale. These are the type of founders we want to partner with and support them with our sector expertise, global network, and value creation platform.”
— One Peak Managing Partner David Klein

We believe this creates plenty of opportunities for technology companies. We are grateful and humbled by the support of our investors and look forward to continuing to help some of Europe’s most ambitious founders and teams build enduring companies.”
