Mosaic Ventures is a prominent London-based venture capital firm specializing in early-stage technology investments across Europe. Founded by experienced investors Toby Coppel, Mike Chalfen, and Simon Levene, the firm has established itself as a significant player in the European tech ecosystem. They primarily target Seed and Series A rounds, with an initial check size ranging from $1 million to $10 million. Their investment thesis centers on backing ambitious founders who are building disruptive technologies and reimagining various sectors, aiming to support the next generation of European tech leaders.

Mosaic Ventures adopts a broad yet focused investment strategy, looking for companies that leverage technology to create significant impact.

The firm emphasizes a "founder-first" approach, aiming to provide not just capital but also strategic guidance and operational support to help their portfolio companies scale. They leverage their extensive network and experience from previous roles at firms like Accel and Benchmark to assist founders in navigating growth challenges.

Since its inception, Mosaic Ventures has successfully raised multiple funds, demonstrating consistent growth and investor confidence. Their most recent fund, Mosaic Ventures IV, closed in 2023 with $200 million, bringing their total capital under management to approximately $680 million across four funds. The firm has made over 80 investments in European startups, contributing significantly to the region's innovation landscape. Notable past investments include companies like Cazoo (which had a significant exit), Blockchain.com, GoCardless, and Tray.io, showcasing their ability to identify and support high-growth potential businesses.
