“As a firm, our mission is simple: to be the partner of choice to the founders starting and growing those European technology companies. These new funds put us in a position to do just that,” he added.
Both the early and growth funds have been raised simultaneously due to strong investor demand, according to the firm.
According to Balderton the mix of global limited partners within its funds is a result of entrepreneurs being attracted by the company’s focus and successful track record over its 25 year history.
Since its inception in 2000, Balderton has invested in more than 275 technology companies across Europe.
