European roots. Global from the start.

We are inspired every day to support the next generation of founders to allow them to achieve their dreams and goals. By being there at the very beginning, we seek to build the best platform to take founders through their first phase and help them go on to raise later-stage capital.

Not your typical venture capital firm

At Pilotic, we are not your typical venture capital firm.

Built by founders for founders, every part of our culture and every decision we make is designed with one goal in mind: to help entrepreneurs succeed.

We strive for more than financial returns. We believe that founders are the catalysts for positive, transformative change in our society and economy.

 

Our mission is to propel this progress forward


That’s why we seek out and partner with ambitious founders who are rule-breakers in their fields and innovators reshaping the world we live in. We support the game-changers using technology to rewire the world for the better.

When we find these pioneers, we provide more than just capital. We share our expertise gained from scaling some of the world’s most successful tech companies. We offer guidance on how to scale thoughtfully and contribute to building a brighter, more inclusive future.

Energy & Climate

There are few problems facing our planet as serious as the climate crisis and the need for decarbonisation. These are complex problems that affect us all. There is a need–and opportunity–for every person, business, industry and nation to minimise impact and do better.

Mobility

We live in an age when the services and infrastructure that move people and goods, and let us travel the world, are in desperate need of innovation.  Bright founders (and their companies) are leaning into disruptive trends like electrification, connected and autonomous vehicles, and Mobility-as-a-Service to help them lead the coming mobility revolution.

Future Finance

API-first. Embedded. Decentralised. It’s never been easier to buy, sell, transfer and invest, as ever more of the financial services sector moves online. Smart companies are re-imagining the services and underlying infrastructure that power financial systems and redefine how money flows. 

Improving Health

We are poised at the precipice of fundamentally shifting how societies look at healthcare. With some very noble tech founders leading the vanguard, we are nearing a future where our medicines will be generated to fit individual biology. 

Industrial Automation

Making some of the world’s least digitised industries more efficient, including manufacturing, logistics and construction is a global challenge at a critical time for humanity. We believe the next generation of tech, united with the next wave of creative thinkers, will be up to this challenge. 

How we work

More flexible work and organisational arrangements are about having autonomy.

Aligned to Win

Greatness occurs when remarkable people with diverse perspectives work together as one. By empowering each other, sharing credit and encouraging each other to act as owners we make the whole stronger than the sum of its parts.

What does this mean for you? With egos left at the door, we can work together towards one common goal: helping you build a business that changes the world.

Humble

We are honest, authentic, and transparent. We are not afraid to make mistakes, and when we do, we admit when we are wrong and learn from it. We are honest about our own limitations and recognise the skills, knowledge and strengths of our colleagues so that we can achieve our desired outcomes collaboratively as a team. We seek guidance and feedback from others, and we remain teachable, always.

What does this mean for you? We are not perfect, but we’ve all got your back and you will always have someone you can to talk to. No matter the time of day or night.

Bold and Progressive

We are calculated risk-takers with strong judgement and conviction. We are not afraid of bold action to lead our industry, rather than follow. We have a growth mindset and use data and feedback in pursuit of continuous learning and improvement.

What does this mean for you? We challenge ourselves to think big and long-term. Expect us to do the same to you.

Partners to Gamechangers

We pride ourselves on being genuine partners to the entrepreneurs we work with. We build lasting relationships. Venture is a long term game, helping those who share our mission by sharing our experiences. By getting to know founders early on both we and you can better gauge if there is a good match.

What does this mean for you? Our aim is to always have a positive reference from founders we have worked with. Feel free to ask any of our founders, whether they succeeded or not, which investor they would recommend and why? Life is too short to not be decent to each other.
