Powerful partnerships pay off
$650 million at a $3 billion valuation. We knew wefox was going to be big when we first invested in 2016, but their recent funding round even blew us away! With $140m in revenues in 2020 alone and a $5.2tn market to tackle, the sky’s the limit for Julian, Fabian and team.
P.S. Our Austria-based portfolio is also heating up… we’ll have more news on that next month 😉
And that’s not all we have to share:
  • Softbank & Speedinvest partner to tackle inequality in European tech
  • Learn how to get your pre-Seed Marketplace pitch deck noticed
  • Join our Industrial Tech team to talk all things Climate Tech in Europe

Speedinvest has partnered with SoftBank and top European funds - Cherry Ventures, Breega, firstminute Capital and Kindred Capital - to launch the first-ever Emerge accelerator program in Europe for underrepresented founders in tech. Apply by July 7.
