🎉 A big congrats to our portfolio company kennek for winning the Fintech Awards London 2024!

Out of more than 300 submissions, the Jury picked kennek as this year's best London-based fintech company. A mega achievement by Xavier, Thibault, Edmund and the rest of the Kennek team - especially given that London has now surpassed both NYC and SF as biggest and most important Fintech hub.

​DFF, Piton Capital, INGEN HOUSZ and Million Monkeys are hosting TNW After Drinks once again! 🍹

We've invited the best founders, investors and operators for cocktails and bites in the sunkissed courtyard at Fosbury & Sons. Will you be joining us on June 19th from 17:00 onwards?

We are almost at capacity but still have some final spots left. Are you interested in attending? Please apply via the link in the comments. We strive to have a healthy balance between investors/founders/operators. Entrance only allowed with approved tickets.

We are happy to announce that Alleo - formerly YourCampus has raised €5m from Mediahuis Ventures with continued participation from DFF (Dutch Founders Fund), Newion, and ROM InWest. Go check out their new rebrand too!

Fantastic to see what Florian Gendrault and his team have built in just ±2 years time. From scale-ups to corporates and from creatives to construction; people and companies are different - so why should benefits be the same? We're glad to continue backing Alleo on its mission to build the next-gen compensation and benefits platform.
