Our approach
Semapa Next is a venture capital firm that invests in European-based companies aspiring to become global category leaders. Our focus is Series A stage and we are sector-agnostic.
We focus on three main areas within our portfolio
ACCESS
LEADERSHIP
FINANCE
Providing access and knowledge from our portfolio, from our international network of experts and from Semapa Group and its global presence.
At Series A stage, companies raise a significant amount of funding, but their finance function is still limited or inexistent. At Series A stage, many companies have built local and sector-focused networks but for company building and talent acquisition at a global level companies need to expand their current network.
Semapa Next’s help aims to multiply your peer network to share leadership struggles and insights for success, complement your local networks with a curated network of global thinkers & doers and access the 7000 workforce of Semapa for unique talent expertise or business development opportunities.
Portfolio leadership team coaching, senior talent recruitment, and organizational support.
At Series A stage, many companies have built talent for product development and for gaining early traction but often need to develop company building leadership skills and hire senior talent to expand revenue and scale operations.
Semapa Next’s help is focused on leadership coaching with professional coaches, senior talent recruitment to attract top-tier talent, and organizational support to implement best practices to focus on product, engineering and sales with the right structure and support functions, fostering long-term growth and success.
Financial processes setup & optimization, KPI benchmarking, and fundraising planning for your next milestone.
At Series A stage, companies raise a significant amount of funding, but their finance function is still limited or inexistent. Semapa Next’s help aims to set up financial operations to optimize capital efficiency, share KPI benchmarks to support companies with resource allocation (budgeting), and contribute to fundraising planning to secure capital for continued growth, contributing to the long-term success of the companies it invests in.
