A Late Cofounder Instead Of An Early VC

<aside> Torus is a collective of founders backing founders. Investing like a VC, acting like a cofounder. We invest €1–2 million in early-stage tech companies, pairing each one with a Venture Partner: an experienced founder on the board, personally invested, accountable, and rewarded for driving growth.

Our Approach

<aside>

Getting from 0 to €10M in revenue isn’t a playbook — it’s chaos, courage, and hard choices.

Founders deserve investors who’ve built before, not just backed before.

Angel investors want impact, but lack structure.

VCs have structure, but lack empathy.

Torus bridges that gap.
