Betwixt Ventures

Betwixt Ventures serves as a strategic connector between promising startups and micro Venture Capital investors, specializing in the critical funding gap between seed and Series A rounds. The firm has developed a comprehensive value-addition framework encompassing rigorous deal origination, thorough screening processes, expert negotiation of investment terms, and ongoing portfolio monitoring. This methodical approach allows Betwixt to identify high-potential early-stage technology companies while minimizing investment risks through their systematic evaluation protocols.

With an exclusive geographic focus on Portuguese tech startups, Betwixt Ventures implements a distinctive investment strategy requiring startups to have been previously validated by established Business Angels or through co-investment partnerships with reputable seed or venture capital funds. This collaborative approach extends to including additional private co-investors, creating a robust support network for portfolio companies while distributing risk across knowledgeable investment partners familiar with the Portuguese entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Beyond capital deployment, Betwixt provides intensive post-investment support through structured startup follow-up programs, personalized mentoring initiatives, and strategic value creation activities. The firm leverages its extensive network to facilitate subsequent funding rounds, actively attracting institutional investors to support portfolio companies' growth trajectories. This hands-on approach to portfolio management reflects Betwixt's commitment to nurturing companies through their most challenging growth phases rather than simply providing financial resources.

A distinguishing element of Betwixt Ventures' model is their forward-looking exit facilitation strategy, where they proactively identify potential acquisition opportunities and guide founders through the complex exit process. By maintaining relationships with larger venture funds, corporate investors, and potential strategic acquirers, Betwixt creates clear pathways to liquidity for both founders and early investors. This comprehensive lifecycle approach—from initial investment through successful exit—positions Betwixt as more than just a capital provider but as a true strategic partner in the Portuguese technology startup ecosystem.
