Tomorrow belongs to the daring
We are Earlybird Venture Capital, optimistic risk-takers who roll up their 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.
Hans Szymanski, CEO
Earlybird has a clear vision of the future of digitalization and knowledge of what businesses need in order to succeed in this fast-moving market. They are trustworthy partners and have thoroughly supported our strategy from the very beginning. We have achieved a lot together and we are looking forward to accomplishing even more in the future.
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.
Steve Atkinson, CEO
What sets the Earlybird team apart is their deep operating experience in medical devices, health and wellness. Management taps into their knowledge, insight and guidance — not just their capital. They are pragmatic, realistic and supportive and it is a genuine pleasure to have the Earlybird team at our side helping build the value of Atlantic Therapeutics.
