c*funds | full service, boutique fund placement agency

c*- stands for courage. We are an independent, self funded, bottom-up developed, entreprenurial, boutique private placement agency (with strong LP relations in Nordics, Benelux, DACH, eastcoast of US and APAC). 8 agile placement agent, very empowered, close knit team that works closely with GPs to structure and finalize a fund.
c*funds was incorporated in 2017 in Amsterdam and started as a direct deal raising agency for high-growth Benelux scaleups. We raised several seed, and Series A rounds for SaaS, B2B, and e-mobility companies. Out of this journey our passion towards GP fundraising was born. We raised a lot from PE firms and VCs in startups and we thought we can build also a network of LPs to support GP capital raise too. Last 5 years we took care of 4.5 B USD value GP portfolio /Investor Relations. Strong track record in sustainability. Currently we serve GPs (across all asset classed) and Series B raises (direct deals). We have a special access to under the radar Silicon Valley VC deals through Y Combinator too.
We conduct DD and social validation on the GP teams, before offering them to our LPs (450 globally in total, out of which 220 global family offices).
c*funds has collaborated globally with top VC/PE funds focusing on deep-tech, climatetech and decarbonization. We are proud of this transformative experience, supporting GPs in their fundraising efforts:
  • Worldfund (Europe, HQ Frankfurt)
  • Climentum (Europe, HQ Copenhagen)
  • Rubio (Europe, HQ Amsterdam)
  • AERA VC (New Zealand) – probably the best impact fund I’ve seen
  • Kerogen (Infrastructure and Asia) Hong Kong
  • Third Sphere (E-mobility) New York
We also raised funds for emerging market manager Cactus Ventures.
