Bright Spaces is one of those few start-ups where we had the privilege to know the founding team ever since their beginnings. This allowed us to watch their constant evolution closely and see all their hard work turn into a real digital automated solution for the critical needs that they skillfully identified in the field of real estate. Together with our expertise in this industry, we will turn this strategic partnership into a fruitful collaboration, and we're committed to helping them make the right choices toward building a viable, sustainable business.

At Rubik Hub's Founders Bootcamp, we had the opportunity to engage and gain valuable insights from one of our VCs, Fortech Investments.

As any VC, one of our favorite things is to invest more than once in the same founders. They know the drill, and they’ve done it before. That's precisely what our fund, #PSVTech01, recently had the chance to do. Today is launch day for spektr, which means we can finally shout from the rooftops that we've backed power founders Ciprian Florescu and Mikkel Skarnager once again. This time not as a duo, but a quartet, as they've gotten Jan-Erik Wagner and Jeremy Joly on board the new founder team 👌 In 2021, we invested in Mikkel and Cip's first company, #HelloFlow, but before we could even say HelloFl… the company was acquired 💸 While it was a great exit story, our collaboration with the two was way too short. Luckily, they soon enough discovered that they had a craving to go back to the sweet-and-sour startup candy shop 🍭 We’re thrilled to announce the second episode of our partnership with the two visionaries. Alongside friends at Northzone and Seedcamp, we've backed Spektr's €5m seed round.
