Dutch Founders Fund (DFF) takes a "founders by heart, investors by craft" approach to venture capital. They prioritize entrepreneurial grit, solid execution, and the people behind the ideas, rather than relying solely on spreadsheets and polished pitch decks. They aim to invest in underdigitized verticals and seek founders who are relentless and resourceful. The fund was created by individuals with experience building successful companies like WeTransfer, Just Eat, Hiber, Treatwell, and fonQ, with the intention of providing the support they wish they had received when starting their own ventures. DFF believes in a no-nonsense approach to company building, which extends to their investment strategy.
