Congratulations to our portfolio company Onfly on this major milestone!   We first backed the team in 2023 because we believed in their vision to simplify business travel for Brazil’s fast-growing SMB market.

This week, Tech.eu hosted our VP, Alicia Garabedian, for a panel discussion alongside Simone Lavizzari (JOIN CAPITAL) and Stefan C. Heilmann (IEG - Investment Banking Group), moderated by Cate Lawrence (Tech.eu).   The conversation tackled how investors are navigating the balance between bold innovation and proven business models, how to assess startup scalability, the founder traits that signal long-term success, and how cultural and regional differences—from Europe to the Middle East to Asia—shape risk appetite, go-to-market strategies, and capital allocation. Thank you for bringing together such a thoughtful and global conversation!

With over 30 million players in more than 110 countries, padel is widely recognized as the fastest-growing sport in the world. In the U.S. alone, the number of courts is projected to reach 20,000 by 2030, serving an estimated 15 million players. To help meet this growing demand, Pro Padel League has raised $10 million in seed funding, led by Left Lane Capital.   “In less than two years, PPL has attracted the world’s best players and caught the attention of hundreds of thousands of new fans. This capital will allow us to continue expanding the league’s reach, elevating the competition, and bringing the excitement of padel to a rapidly growing fan base,” said Michael Dorfman, CEO of Pro Padel League.   With 10 city-based teams, a media rights deal reaching over 300 million households, and tournaments planned across the U.S. and Mexico in 2025, PPL is ushering in a new era of professional padel. https://lnkd.in/eEPTYhyC

Excited to see our portfolio company, Evvy, continue to push the boundaries of women’s health with the launch of new fertility insights as part of their vaginal microbiome test. The new capabilities provide information on and address the connection between vaginal microbiome health and fertility outcomes, an area where research has shown significant correlations.    “For too long, fertility has been treated like a black box — leaving millions of people searching for answers with no clear path forward,” said Priyanka Jain, co-founder and CEO of Evvy. “By expanding our Vaginal Microbiome Test to include fertility insights, we’re giving people the power to take control of their reproductive health with comprehensive testing and data-driven, personalized care.” https://lnkd.in/ggMfkiqN
