Tomorrow belongs to the daring
We are Earlybird Venture Capital, optimistic risk-takers who roll up our sleeves
Our Founders
Erik Voorhees, CEO
Earlybird was among the very few VC firms that believed in the potential of digital assets before the hype.
Alexander Artopé, CEO
Earlybird and Christian Nagel have always been a strong partner, fully committed at any stage of our development. They were a great support to become the biggest pureplay for personal loans in Germany.
Daniel Dines, CEO
Earlybird was extremely active in helping us in the early days. They provided key customer introductions and helped me recruit our first new executives. Dan drove the creation of the investor syndicate and introduced me to our lead Series A investor.
Susan Trent, CEO
Earlybird has been a great investment partner to Atlantic Therapeutics from the outset. Thom Rasche’s depth of industry experience means Earlybird is properly engaged in the business. The result is quick decision-making and the latitude for our leadership team to execute successful strategies.
