At a second stage, it intends to invest also in Spanish and Italian startups. While no particular industry will be ruled out from the investment scope, the pledge fund will tend to focus on the broad technology and energy sectors. As a pre-requisite, it will either invest in startups previously vetted by other Business Angels, or co-invest in them with other seed or venture capital funds as partners. The focus of the pledge fund will be to invest in the gap between seed and series A rounds. Upon the investment at this stage, Betwixt Ventures will seek to attract further institutional investment rounds, internationally.On top of the pledge fund management, Betwixt Ventures will also offer both financial and general advisory services to startups.
