What inspired the establishment of Middlegame Ventures?

We established MiddleGame Ventures (MGV) to seize the growing opportunities within the fintech sector (lending, payments, capital markets, asset management, insurance). Drawing on our experience in financial services, we aimed to invest and support early-stage fintech startups, providing both capital and strategic guidance, helping them scale and achieve commercial success. Recognizing the significant digital transformation occurring in financial services, we saw an opportunity to invest in innovative solutions that could disrupt traditional financial models or help them bridge the digital gap. Our vision includes fostering sustainable growth and achieving significant returns on investment, thus creating long-term value for both the portfolio companies and investors in our funds. Additionally, we aimed to build a robust network of industry experts, entrepreneurs and investors, thereby creating a supportive ecosystem for startups. We are currently focused on Europe.
