Frequently Asked Questions
About our Investment Strategy
Who are Oxx and what do you invest in?
Oxx is a specialist investor focusing on European B2B software companies at the scale-up stage. We back founders building sophisticated products to solve large, important and complex problems. We’re looking for strong and proven product–market fit and the potential for sustainable expansion.
What stage do you typically invest at?
We usually lead or co-lead Series A or B in companies seeking a total investment around $5–25 million. Our sweet spot is companies that have achieved product–market fit and are showing emerging signs of go-to-market fit — that is, a repeatable and scalable growth engine they seek capital and active support to fine-tune.
How much do you invest?
For new investments, we typically initially commit $5–10 million. When we partner with a company, we come in for the long term and work tightly with the team to navigate scale-up stage challenges, with capital reserved for follow-on financing, deployed strategically throughout the journey.
Where do you invest?
We invest across Europe, with a presence in London and Stockholm, and strong relationships in ecosystems from Berlin to Tel Aviv.
Which sectors do you invest in?
We focus entirely on B2B software. Within that, we prioritise five areas where we see the biggest opportunities: AI-powered applications, cybersecurity, data management, vertical industry software, and tools for senior executives in the “office of the CXO.” These are, for example, platforms that help CFOs manage finance or HR leaders get insights into their workforce. You can check out our current portfolio here.
What makes Oxx different from other VCs?
We’re a boutique investor, deliberately working with a small number of companies so we can give each founder the time and attention they deserve. We aim to make 3–4 new investments a year, which allows us to focus on long-term partnerships rather than chasing volume.
Our support is bespoke, from shaping growth strategies to hands-on help in navigating go-to-market challenges, and grounded in deep B2B software expertise.
Above all, we believe the human element matters most. We invest in relationships we truly believe in – with founders, within our own team, with our investors, and across our community.
How we work & how you can work with us
What is the “Oxx factor”?
It’s the special quality we look for in every company we back: a mix of exceptional founders and teams, ambitious vision, and the discipline to build sustainable growth for the long run.
How does Oxx support its portfolio companies?
We provide hands-on help with go-to-market fit, international expansion, hiring, fundraising, and financial operations. Our team includes former operators and specialists who understand the real challenges of scaling software businesses. As a team, we’re prepared to roll our sleeves up: from reshaping a finance function to sharpening positioning, or even taking the role of chair of the board.
We also bring in our Oxx community of experts – from Silicon Valley-based investors to Europe-based operators – many with experience growing the region’s standout companies over the past decade.
How can founders pitch Oxx?
If possible, we recommend you find an intro through someone in our extended network. If you can’t, you can send us your deck via the form at the bottom of the page, or try one of our team members on Linkedin. We review every relevant opportunity within our focus area of European B2B software at the scale-up stage.
Where are your offices?
We have offices in London and Stockholm.
How can I join the Oxx team?
Check our Careers page or follow us on LinkedIn for openings. While we may not always be hiring, we’re always interested in meeting people who share our values and passion for tech and welcome them into the Oxx community.
What’s your Diversity, Equality & Inclusion strategy?
Diversity and inclusion are core to how we build Oxx and support our portfolio. We aim for gender parity in our team, use inclusive hiring practices, and encourage the same in the companies we back. You can read more in our ESG Policy.
What’s your Anti-Discrimination & Anti-Harassment Policy?
We have a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination or harassment of any kind. Everyone we work with is expected to uphold a respectful, inclusive environment, and we ask the same of our portfolio companies. Full details are in our ESG Policy.
