🤔 What happens when entrepreneurs with novel ideas, a community of seasoned professionals and a team of zealous mutants come together, united in a mission to foster a brighter and sustainable future? You get daphni: a VC striving to Build Da City for Good!
🌟 From day one, our guiding light, our raison d’être, has been crystal clear: support companies that change usage in a virtuous way.
💡 How do we make it happen? We empower audacious entrepreneurs who are using their knowledge, talent and ambition to shake things up and drive change with tech-for-good solutions. By supporting these trailblazing startups with capital, a network of 300+ industry experts and a cutting-edge digital platform, we’re making big strides every day toward a stronger, more sustainable tomorrow for the future generations. 🌍
⚡ Our Purple, Yellow and Dastore portfolios are brimming with energy and innovation. Each start-up is lighting the way in numerous sectors including the circular economy, energy transition, health, fintech, upcycling, retail, deeptech, and beyond. Their bold ideas and visionary models are reimagining life as we know it — making it more seamless, sustainable and simpler for everyone.
🌈 Yearning to go deeper in our commitment to championing positive change, we wanted to find a meaningful way to support NGOs whose work is making the world a more inclusive place. 🤝 This led to the creation of Rainbow, our endowment fund launched in 2024! Through Rainbow, we partner with numerous associations across Europe, from NGOs who are empowering people with disabilities, supporting refugees, fostering diversity in tech and more.
➡️ Fast forward to today, we’re 9 years in and proud of the heights we’ve reached with about 60 active start-ups in our portfolio (and more to be announced soon!). As always, we’re eager to keep pushing forward, holding innovation-for-good at the forefront of our mission. 🚀
💜 A huge thank you to our incredible entrepreneurs, our cherished daphni community and extraordinary team of mutants for helping us turn this dream into reality. Thank you for supporting and sharing our vision of building da city for good! 👾
