You may be familiar with some of the companies that we have invested in, such as Smava, Wunderflats, Easy Park, Momox and Hornet Security. We are proud to have attracted high caliber investors from more than 15 countries, ranging from large foundations and endowments to pension funds, insurance companies and family offices. Over half of the capital commitments in our most recent funds are by not-for-profit investors, and during 2021 Verdane held its final close on Verdane Idun I, an impact focused fund investing in technology-enabled businesses based out of Europe. Strong returns for our funds thus also help good causes.
