An edge earned on the way up, not inherited
The Simsan built deal-sourcing engine across Europe, India and South Korea connects founders with aligned investors. Many of our portfolio winners, Limited Partners and co-investors have emerged from our demo day programmes.
We are expert fundraisers
ourselves
Fund I was raised with investors from different countries – we understand the fundraising cycle inside and out.
We are
turning the tide
in VC
Current early stage investors focus too much on numbers. We miss the old way of doing venture capital which was backing founders with visions instead of revenue targets.
Our thinking is contemporary since we believe winning in VC today is based on finding extraordinary founders early who:
-
Show minimal or zero marketing spend
-
Are post-prototype
-
Can achieve product-market fit
-
Have a strong social media following
-
Turn communities into customers
The demo day
engine
Our demo days across the UK, India and South Korea drive deal flow and build our funds.
For founders, it is a support community beyond the deal.
For investors, we secure proprietary, recurring deal flow in hard-to-reach markets.
If you are a founder, investor or LP interested in participating in our Global Acceleration Programme please contact us here.

A network spanning three continents from day one.
Ecosystem access through our multiple funds.
We invest in people like us.
Then build alongside them.
