Our Mission
ScaleSlay was born from a simple idea:founders deserve better partners at the earliest, most fragile stages of building. Our founder, knows this journey firsthand, not from the sidelines, but from the trenches. As an entrepreneur who scaled ventures across energy, tech, and FMCG, culminating in the successful M&A exit of a renewable energy developer in 2021, he experienced the highs, the chaos, and the raw grit it takes to go from idea to traction to something real. From raising rounds to building teams across Europe, he saw the gaps in early-stage funding: too slow, too generic, too founder-unfriendly. So he decided to build the type of investor he wished he'd had, fast, hands-on, clear, and committed to letting founders lead. ScaleSlay began organically, angel investing in promising startups like BetterMatch and Nauticare. He backed Solarserve Italy as a strategic investor, helping unlock value in sustainable infrastructure under Italy’s solar subsidy program. As the portfolio grew, so did the network, the founder referrals, and the clear demand for something different in early-stage venture capital.

Because in early-stage ventures, there’s a fine line between slaying it… and sinking it.We’ve seen what breaks startups: messy cap tables, weak financial model (runway analysis), sloppy pitchdeck (no white paper), not the right start-up team, unfocused growth, etc.And we’ve also seen what makes them unstoppable: sharp minds, strong team, clean deals, great papers and models, sand committed capital that gets it.
