Working with us

WHAT FOUNDERS SAY

Tom Vroemen, CEO of TETMET

SANDS has been the top supporter on our early-stage cap table. The involvement of these people is not proportional to the typical early-stage ticket size.

They've hands-on driven customers to us and have been a great source of warm follow-on investor connections. You can really see the diversity and expanse of their network working to the advantage of their portfolio companies.

Max Pecherskyi, CEO of PromoRepublic

SANDS has been a great partner for us from the very beginning. They didn’t just write a check - they actually rolled up their sleeves and helped us connect with real customers in South Asia and the EU, which turned into reference deals that boosted our credibility in those markets.

They’ve always been genuinely curious about how we’re doing and quick to offer advice or intros. On top of that, they’re just very human to work with. Easy to share both the highs and the challenges with.

CEO & Founder, TBA

I can wholeheartedly recommend SANDS to any early-stage founder team without reservation. They have been pragmatic and helpful every step of the way.

Capital, without the contortions.

We back founders at pre-seed and seed with more than money. We bring clarity, open doors where it counts, and commit with conviction. We don't ask founders to contort themselves to fit a narrow scope. Our invitation-only syndicate spans Europe and Asia, and we invest only where our members’ expertise can truly add value.

If this sounds like the right fit, we’d love to hear from you.
