A word from the Amadeus Capital Partner Team:

We believe the most exciting innovations originate from the power of networks – physical, social, and commercial: the smart, connected world. Over the past 18 years we have funded and supported more than 90 young companies, led by entrepreneurs who share this vision. Their contributions to the smart, connected world range from creating the infrastructure of today’s networks, to building the products and services that leverage and transform those networks into economic success.

We have the imagination to see where new businesses can be created and the technical insight, operational experience, and global network to help entrepreneurs make their vision a reality.

With a deep understanding of the technologies we invest in, we have the insight to see how a new product can exploit its technological advantage to expand or create a new market. We believe in being open, honest, and direct at all times. We insist on integrity in all aspects of operations, for ourselves and the teams we work with. We seek to align the interests of investors and entrepreneurs in achieving our collective goals. We may sometimes be tough but we do what we say we will and we serve on our company boards as decision makers.
