Tiburon

Tiburon is a seed and early-stage venture capital firm based in Europe, founded in 2001, with a goal to become the leading European-American early-stage investment boutique. Their mission is to be a trusted sparring partner for founders. They aim to provide more than just capital, offering strategic advice, access to their network, and marketing expertise. The firm emphasizes a deep dive approach, focusing on understanding the underlying reasons for success and actively engaging with portfolio companies to achieve their goals. Tiburon seeks to invest in innovative startups in the digital sector, specifically within media, mobile, communities, meta platforms, FinTech, or SaaS. They look for founders who are hungry for success and willing to engage in a collaborative partnership. Tiburon is led by Daniel Wild, who has over a decade of experience investing in inspiring founders. With over 20 years of venture investing experience and over 150 startup investments, they are one of the earliest movers in European tech. They differentiate themselves by providing 'smart money' which includes access to an outstanding network, marketing expertise, synergies between companies and continuous strategic advice, versus just providing cash. They are not afraid to invest in early stage companies, even referring to them as 'baby sharks'.
