About us

Fortino Ventures - About

We’re more than investors. We’re here to help. Founders can tap into our operational expertise and deep EU network to accelerate with precision.

We focus on Pre-Seed to Series A investment in B2B SaaS & AI.

Our DNA - How we operate

Work first, success follows

VC isn't rocket science - that's for our founders. We work alongside founders and help where we’re needed. We believe that sustained effort compounds over time—for us, and for the companies we back.

Founder NPS is our North Star

We listen, adapt, and fix what isn't working to ensure we build trust and long term partnerships with our founders.

Teamwork is our superpower

We don’t try to be heroes. We communicate candidly, ask for help openly, and support each other without hesitation. We bring that same approach to our work with founders.

Put people first and be kind

We treat everyone with respect, regardless of the situation. We stay calm, listen carefully, and don’t let pressure override decency. Kindness creates trust - and trust makes hard work possible.

Truly support and empower founders

Our job isn’t to run the company, it’s to help founders make better decisions. We share our experience honestly, highlight blind spots, and give them the space to lead. Support means enabling, not steering.

Aim sky-high and deliver excellence

We set ambitious goals and hold ourselves accountable for the details. Excellence shows up in how we prepare, communicate, and deliver.

Come prepared but stay curious

We show up knowing the context, but never assume we have the full picture. Curiosity helps us ask better questions and rethink our assumptions. Learning fast beats being right.

Multiply connections, all the time

A single introduction can change a company’s path, so we make them deliberately, not randomly. We connect founders to people who can truly help them move forward. A strong network becomes powerful when it’s used actively.

We build with founders, 
not around them

Based in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, we back early-stage teams who care about focus and pace. We help them sharpen the big calls and build the foundations for category-defining companies.

For over a decade, we’ve invested from Pre-Seed to Series A, with initial tickets ranging from €0.5M to €3M. Our team has a broad range of skills, while each of us has individual sector specialties.
