the End-to-End Platform to Build Your Venture and succeed.

Validated Thesis, Proven Model, Strategic Evolution

We didn't start as a traditional fund. We started by putting our own capital at risk, building ventures alongside founders, and refining our methodology through real-world execution.

Family Holding (2019-2022)

Deployed proprietary capital to test our hybrid venture building thesis. Invested in and built alongside early-stage founders. Developed our nine-pillar assessment framework through hands-on experience.

Model Validation (2022-2024)

Achieved first successful exit (Mnemonica). Refined operational playbooks across business model design, go-to-market execution, and fundraising support. Validated that strategic minority investment + operational co-building generates outsized returns.

Institutional Scale (2025+)

Opening to Limited Partners to establish a €30M early-stage fund. Maintaining the same rigorous selection criteria and hands-on approach that delivered results. Scaling what works without compromising quality.

Our Values

The principles that guide our investment decisions also shape how we deliver advisory services. These values define our identity across both business lines and represent our commitment to every partner we work with.

Alignment

We operate on the principle of shared outcomes. Whether investing capital or deploying advisory resources, we structure relationships where our success depends entirely on yours. This is a real identity of interest.

Execution

Knowledge without application creates no value. We don't just advise; we execute. Our team brings operational depth and strategic expertise directly into the work, helping ventures and established businesses navigate complexity and achieve measurable results.

Integrity

Ambitious goals require unwavering ethical standards. Accountability and principled decision-making are non-negotiable at 20V—they form the foundation of our relationships with founders, clients, partners, and each other.

High-Conviction

We operate with precision. We select a very small number of founders with exceptional business ideas and a deep true builder's mindset, allowing us to support our full resources and them to succeed.

More Than Capital

We provide a complete growth platform. That means funding, but it also means decades of experience, a dedicated operational team, and a global network ready to be deployed to accelerate your path.

Your Success

Our partnership is built on total transparency and alignment. We structure our terms so that our interests are intrinsically linked to yours, creating shared value all the way.

Advisory

We serve as the operational extension of management teams, designing and executing business transformations across three client segments.

Startups Business model design and scalability architecture
SMEs Growth strategy and organizational evolution
Enterprises Digital transformation and competitive repositioning
