Investment Thesis

Picus Capital is an early-stage, technology-focused venture capital firm investing in pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds. They focus on sectors including real estate, finance & insurance, HR, renewable energy, mobility, and health. Their unique approach stems from being a privately-financed fund, allowing for a very long-term investment horizon and positioning them as an "entrepreneurial sparring partner" to founders from the initial idea through to IPO and beyond.
