<aside> 📌 In 2016, Serena Data Ventures I (€70m+) pioneered the belief that infrastructure software will be a pivotal driver of economic value. Since then, we have demonstrated solid foundations with 80% of our portfolio companies now operating in the US, and some of them reporting over €20m in ARR, coupled with +100% growth 4 to 5 years after launch.

<aside> 📌 In 2023, we have closed Serena Data Ventures II, a fresh €100m+ new fund to continue our mission of backing the best founders with global ambition. Through Data Ventures II, our initial conviction to bet on infrastructure software has been reinforced, in a context where trust, intelligence and computing power are increasingly needed.
