Why TCV

With a deliberately small portfolio, TomCat Ventures works closely with each company rather than treating investments as line items.

Founders can expect to be challenged and supported by a team that thinks and acts like entrepreneurs. Growth is pursued with conviction, while decisions are made thoughtfully and with a long-term perspective.

TomCat Ventures is hands-on without micromanaging, valuing data and clarity while respecting founders’ time. We invests at the early stage, typically once teams have formed and initial traction is visible and occasionally even earlier, when strong ideas and founders stand out.
