"S20 is a fast and lightweight partner — they move quickly, respond fast, and always find ways to add real value."

"The S20 team, whom I first met through their SpeedUp investment in Cycle, supported our growth into a European leader. They are trustworthy VCs who truly support founders — exemplifying how European venture capital should work."

"Working with the S20 team has been a pleasure - their operator experience shows in the thoughtful way they approach diligence and decision-making, and they’ve continued to be supportive partners to Boldr through many touch points and follow-on investment."

"S20 Partners backed my previous startup, and I worked with them for few years. While those ventures didn't succeed, they consistently demonstrated fairness and genuine partnership. The true measure of a VC's quality is how they handle challenging times - and S20 excelled at that."

"S20 (former SpeedUp Group) has always given us a lot of leeway and trust. At the same time, it always came to our rescue with valuable contacts when we were in need. Thanks to these contacts, already in two rounds new investors appeared after an earlier intro from funds managing partners."

"The partners at S20 are founder-focused, practical, and always ready to brainstorm. Their hands-on support and deep understanding of early-stage challenges have been invaluable throughout our pre-Series A journey, especially in shaping our fundraising strategy."

"Working with S20 has been a very practical and founder-friendly experience: fast feedback, great energy, and real support in building the business."

"S20 is a great team, 100% private capital, fast decisions, strong support — we got a lot of great intros, highly recommend!"

"During my tenure leading Resonanz, I worked closely with the founders of S20. Their support during the energy crisis of 2022-2023 was invaluable. With their backing, we successfully navigated immense challenges, ultimately guiding Resonanz Energy to a successful acquisition."

"The S20 was instrumental in raising our first round. They act fast, are hands-on and more importantly, they are founder-focused. The team are a prime example of what early-stage VC should look like; they are comfortable making the earliest bets and support you throughout the entire journey."

"S20 team represents exactly what you expect from early stage investor. They move fast, challenge you on the market pick, they focus on the team, and then join you on board from day one. I got first intros even before the money hit our account!"
