Our take
With a focus on tech companies, early-stage investor Picus Capital’s portfolio spans the likes of fintech, HR, energy and climate, healthcare, crypto, web 3.0, and eCommerce. The firm's approach is said to combine the principles of financial investors with the pragmatism of entrepreneurs, and it has helped fund more than 170 companies across the globe since its founding in 2015.
There's a substantially wide net of potential investees for the firm, that it supports with funds up to Series A. Recent companies funded by Picus include finance team platform Aleph and robot data management company Formant, perhaps indicating a focus on new companies in the management platform sphere.
