Samwer brothers start Founders Fund Europe
Filed in archive Venture Capital by tj on June 27, 2006
"In business as investors for about nine months now, the European Founders Fund has enetered the equity of 7 startups, 4 in Europe, and 3 in North America, and is looking to add 5 or 6 more in the coming year.
Current portfolio firms include Hitflip.de, a Peerflix clone, e-Sport.de, a developer of browser-based games, and Myphotobook.de, a Berlin-based publisher of books based on digital photo albums.
In many ways, the setup and approach is similar to the Scandinavian early stage investor Lund/Kenner, which we profiled in April (See link below). "
So myvideo is a bet that the Samwers made a while ago.
The European Founders Fund does not have a homepage that I could find with Google. Who has a homepage and what is a little odd is that the US Founders Fund has also been started in 2005 by Peter Thiel, Ken Howery and Luke Nosek - all former Paypal founders/ executives.
I doubt both organizations having something to do with each other - strange naming decision only?
