Client success story: Cusp Capital completes First Closing of €300m fund

Betterfront was delighted to support Cusp Capital in the fundraising process of its new Europe-focused technology fund. Cusp Capital recently launched its activities as a new venture capital firm from Germany. Well-known names in the ecosystems, the team around Christian Winter, Jan Sessenhausen, Helmut Klawitter and Wilken Engelbracht has financed numerous fast-growing tech companies and significantly shaped the venture capital and startup ecosystem of Germany and Europe over the past ten years. Today, these companies are worth more than €80 billion in total.

In less than a week of implementation of Betterfront’s platform, the Cusp Capital team was able to leverage the platform to analyse and present the team’s decade-long investing track record to prospective investors.

We choose Betterfront to help us move beyond the classic Excel data exchange that dominates most GP-LP relationships. With Betterfront’s track record analytics solution, we were able to analyse and present our story and track record the way that institutional investors are used to. This has not only helped us better differentiate ourselves from other managers in the market, but also delivered a better customer experience to prospective investors. The experienced team behind Betterfront has been great to work with.

General Partner of Cusp Capital

The Cusp Capital team will continue to work with Betterfront’s platform in their day-to-day operations, a strong reference for the solution and the value it delivers.
