Connecting the Dots Between Innovation & Investment

What We Do

The eDot team has worked at the forefront of technological and digital advancement globally, building and scaling internationally recognisable companies and products. Together they represent a combined total of over a hundred professional years in the technological vertical. The team has an extensive global network and a proven track record of both sourcing and optimising the return from investments.

The eDot approach is based around not only investing in companies but also playing an on-going role in helping entrepreneurs to build and grow their companies. This in turn helps companies to reach the Fund’s target exit event faster. This management approach has already earned eDot the reputation that it “gets the tech and how to sell it” and this approach is setting eDot apart from other European VC partners.

The eDot Innovation Fund is a 10-year investment vehicle targeting Early Stage technology companies with global growth potential, providing investors with the opportunity to benefit from Europe’s growing technology sector.
