What founders say
about working with us.

Founder portrait

Tessera Bio

Life sciences

They invested before we even had a lab. Five years on, they still pick up the phone on a Sunday.

Revenue growth in the two years after their second investment

Jonas Ekberg

Vantor Grid

Climate

When our next funding round stalled, Aldermoor stepped in and led it. No endless meetings, just a clear yes and a plan.

Jonas Ekberg

Founder & CEO

Amara Osei, Quillwork

Quillwork

Software

Board meetings are short, and the hard questions come early. That's exactly what a young company needs.

Cities

We met in March and had the money before summer. They already knew the housing market better than most.

Lena Hoffmann, Kestrel Robotics

Kestrel Robotics

Software

We hired our first three senior people through their introductions. Their network is worth as much as the money.

They understood the science and how long it takes. Very few investors are comfortable with that timeline.
