Our commercial root — marketplace lending and regulated FinTech.
Founders Capital has its operating roots in European FinTech. We co-founded Bondora, EstateGuru and Investly — three of the leading VC-backed European lending marketplaces. Financial services remains a disciplined adjacency on the fund.
Three focal points in this sector.
Marketplace lending
Consumer credit, property bridge and SME invoice finance — the product lineage that built the firm.
AI in regulated finance
Underwriting, monitoring, compliance and document intelligence for regulated European institutions.
Alternative assets
AI-native infrastructure for private credit, venture and alternative-asset allocators.
Financial-services signal.
European FinTech funding, regulated-AI deployment and open-banking-era infrastructure.
