Investors in the new fund comprised sovereign wealth funds, endowments, fund of funds, pension funds, family offices and high net worth individuals from across Europe, MENA and the United States, as well as numerous founders from Notion portfolio companies. The fund follows the same strategy as its predecessors, where performance has been extremely strong across all metrics. Notion V continues the firm’s successful strategy of investing in Europe’s best emerging business software and fintech companies. We are a diverse team spanning 10 European nationalities which gives us extraordinary reach and access across the market, ” added Chandler. “I am particularly delighted to announce these well-earned promotions, continuing our track record at Notion of promoting Partners from within the firm. ![]() They have proven themselves thoughtful investors and great overall contributors with Steph leading Notion V’s recent investment in DataOps and Kam leading the Resistant AI transaction. Stephanie and Kamil, Dutch and Polish nationals respectively, also joined the firm in 2018 and have played pivotal roles in strategy and leadership as well as sourcing and winning high potential companies. Since joining Notion, she has led investments in Bound, Cledara, Cobee and Yulife amongst others. She is a Kauffman Fellow and an Associate Professor in Entrepreneurship at UCL, with a PhD in Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital and a Masters in Engineering.

Notion also announced three senior promotions with Itxaso del Palacio moving to General Partner and Stephanie Opdam and Kamil Mieczakowski to Partner. Unlike predecessors, Notion V is Euro denominated and Luxembourg-based reflecting the firm’s increasingly pan European focus. Notion expects to make around 20 core Series A+ investments in total from the fund. The fund’s first close was held last year and it has already made several investments including Bound, DataOps, M3ter and Resistant AI. It’s a great point in the cycle to be investing and the European technology ecosystem has proven to be resilient, innovative and highly productive. Fund V is large enough to provide meaningful funding to its portfolio companies but crucially, small enough to continue to drive the true outsized venture capital returns we seek for our investors. Stephen Chandler, Managing Partner at Notion Capital, said: “ Our team has built a strong brand and reputation, and the demand for Notion Capital V, in a challenging market, is testament to this. This complements the firm’s digital sourcing and productivity capabilities using advanced AI to identify, track and prioritise its investment pipeline. This not only helps existing portfolio companies fulfil their potential, but also provides a compelling differentiator to access the best new opportunities in the market. The successful fundraising progress is testament to Notion’s strategy, past performance and strong base of supporters, as well as the resilience of the European tech sector in the face of macroeconomic headwinds.Īs well as its strong operational heritage and deep subject matter expertise in business software, the firm prides itself on its value-added model, with an extensive Platform team supporting its portfolio companies in areas such as product, go-to-market strategy, talent and pricing. Notion Capital, one of Europe’s leading early-stage venture investors in business software and fintech, has today announced the final close of its new €300 million fund Notion Capital V SCSp (“Notion V” or “the fund”), which closed at its ‘hard cap’.
