The private markets platform for Europe, MENA and the UK.
One platform where founders raise and grow their company, and investors find and back the region's strongest companies. Built by operators who have raised, invested and scaled here, and open to everyone doing it now.
The region has the founders and it has the capital. What connects them still runs on introductions and inboxes.
We have raised, invested and scaled here. Helo is the infrastructure we needed. We back the founders on it early and see them through.
One group. The whole private-market stack.
Helo Ventures runs the capital, the platforms and the growth engine a modern private market needs, end to end.
Built, scaled and exited. Now backing those who do.
The people behind Helo have started companies, grown them and seen through exits, running the journey end to end. And they have backed many more as angels and investors, across the region and every stage.
