Maltese investor SuperCharger Ventures today announced the launch of Fund I with a plan to invest in edtech and Future-of-Work companies worldwide, with a focus on pre-seed and seed-stage startups.
Initial tickets for selected startups will be up to €250,000, and follow-on investments will range from €500,000 to €1.5 million. The fund is backed by family offices and HNW investors.
With 90 per cent of first-close commitments already secured, the fund is still inviting additional investors, including institutional players. The fund will operate alongside SuperCharger Ventures’ accelerator model, which provides founders with access to mentorship, investor networks, market-entry support, and government-backed, non-dilutive funding opportunities such as those provided by Malta Enterprise.
According to Janos Barberis, Co-founder and CEO of SuperCharger Ventures:
“3 years ago, we had 100 startups applying to our Malta Programme. Today, it's over 1,000 per cohort trying to expand in Europe via Malta. Yesterday we were an accelerator.
