Symvan’s Portfolio News... From Early Stage to Top 100! 🚀✨ After 1,500 startup applications and 1,200 investor intro requests, the Onstage Top 100 has been revealed. We’re delighted to see not one, but two Symvan Capital portfolio companies featured: APIContext Mission Decisions It’s particularly special to see these two side by side, as they represent two ends of the scale... one of our longest-standing investments and one of our newest. We’ve been supporting APIContext since 2021, backing its vision and growth via follow-on investment in a syndicated round since. Mission Decisions is our latest SEIS and EIS portfolio addition, with our first investment completed in August this year. A fantastic milestone for both teams, and a great reflection of the breadth and ambition across our portfolio. Congratulations to all 100 companies recognised this year! 👍 👏 #OnstageTop100 #TopStartUps #Watchlist #StartUpsFunding #TechInEurope #Technology #Innovation #Portfolio #Investments #VC #VentureCapital #SymvanCapital
