German fintech company bunch, co-founded by Enrico Ohnemüller and Levent Altunel, has officially launched in the UK, introducing its innovative operating system designed for private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) funds. With its AI-driven platform and streamlined workflows, bunch is set to transform fund management by helping GPs and LPs focus on strategy rather than administrative tasks. Already working with leading European funds like Cherry Ventures and Hummingbird Ventures, bunch has established itself as a reliable solution for simplifying private market operations. This UK expansion follows their successful $15.5M Series A funding and marks an important step in their growth journey. London, home to over 1,500 active PE and VC funds, offers an ideal base to support the evolving needs of private markets. Sandra Lyness (nee Lee), partner at Tiny VC and bunch’s first UK client, highlighted how the platform has made their operations more efficient, enabling the team to prioritize their portfolio companies and investor relationships.

Fintech was one of the hardest hit sectors by last year's funding drought, with VC funding totalling $2bn — it's lowest level since 2018. 💰 Funding levels so far this year aren’t showing much signs of recovery either. Still, investors advocate that there’s life in the sector yet. We spoke to some of Europe’s top fintech investors to get their take on the up-and-coming companies in the space. Here are the companies they chose. 👉 https://lnkd.in/euHX4axh Featuring: Greta Anderson, principal at Balderton Capital, Pirkka Palomäki, founding partner at Maki.vc, Akash Bajwa, principal at Earlybird Venture Capital, Luis Valdich, managing director of venture investing at Citi Ventures, Tom Filip Lesche, partner at Speedinvest and Johnnie Martin, investor at Augmentum Fintech.

As the venture capital landscape transforms, one trend is gaining significant momentum - the rise of secondary transactions. I'm thrilled to share that TempoCap is at the forefront of this shift as we see more and more #CVCs and #VCs turning to single-asset and portfolio sales to generate liquidity in a market currently experiencing fewer M&A exits and IPOs. Our deal flow at TempoCap has surged three to fivefold recently, especially on the portfolio side of our activity. This isn't limited to smaller players; even notable European CVCs and VCs are considering portfolio sales to generate some DPIs. It is probably the most sophisticated tech investor who is now considering secondary sales as a dynamic portfolio management tool. Strategies vary across the board. While some prefer acquiring stakes in entire portfolios (LP secondary), we at TempoCap lean towards selecting a few standout companies within a portfolio, particularly those valued between €50-250m with disruptive technologies, significant revenue and fully funded business models. Given the current market conditions, it's an opportune time for secondary firms. We predict the liquidity solutions TempoCap can provide will remain attractive for many years as an active way to generate some liquidity in a largely illiquid asset class (there are 9x more investments than exits in the European tech sector!). For more insights, check out my comments in Sifted via the link below. Thanks to Amy Lewin for the insightful conversation. #venturecapital #secondaries #liquidity #portfoliosales
Are more VC portfolio sales on their way? This week, London-based investment firm Molten Ventures announced it’d acquired a 19% stake in Seedcamp’s third fund. (We would’ve bought more,” Molten CEO Martin Davis told me — if other LPs had wanted to sell.) It’s a sign of more to come, I’m assured. Olav Ostin, managing partner at TempoCap, which does primary and secondary investments in equal measure, says his firm’s dealflow has quintupled in recent months. Ostin says Seedcamp isn’t the only notable European VC making — or considering — portfolio sales. The most sophisticated investors have been at it for a while. It’s happening, of course, because VCs need liquidity — and exits aren’t yet coming thick and fast, so they’re having to be manufactured in other ways. Not all VCs are taking the same approach to portfolio sales, however. And not all buyers of VC secondaries are after the same outcomes either. If you’re a VC, tell me: are you considering a portfolio sale? And if so, how’re you planning on structuring it? Email me: amy@sifted.eu 🙏 https://lnkd.in/eVezHr9C #vc #venturecapital #secondaries #liquidity

Are you considering a portfolio sale? A very insightful post from Amy Lewin (Sifted) about VCs and secondary markets. I’m curious which VCs in my network are considering selling (part of) their portfolio companies. #alwaysbelearning #sharingknowledge #founders #investors #firstdegree

Houston, We have a problem...and it's Zombie VCs. "The comedown has been abrupt. The number of active traditional VCs in US deals went from 18,504 in 2021 to 9,966 last year, according to PitchBook data shared with BI. Many funds launched during the pre- and post-pandemic boom times won’t be able to raise more capital." https://lnkd.in/eaQxqYrn #SpaceCapital #ZombieVCs #SpaceInvesting #VCs
'2024 will be the year of the zombie VC reckoning.' The first wave of walking-dead venture firms is here and it's already causing headaches for tech founders.

Argentem Creek Partners has announced a joint venture with Emerge9 Inc., aiming to broaden investor access to General Partner-Led Private Equity Secondary investments. The collaboration leverages Emerge9's custom fund solution expertise with Argentem's extensive network in key markets including the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia. The PE secondary market opportunity grew from $7 billion in 2015 to $51 billion in 2023. Despite a broad set of high-quality transactions, the GP-Led Secondary market continues to be undercapitalized. As part of the joint venture, we will collaborate on a set of initiatives aimed at broadening non-institutional investors access to the private equity GP-Led Secondary market. We look forward to the enhanced opportunities the partnership will offer to both companies and the broader investor community.
