Editorial Perspective
Backed VC is a London-based European seed fund ($500K–$5M cheques) founded by Andre de Haes and Alex Brunicki, focused on frontier tech companies. Their investment areas include advanced manufacturing, biotech, blockchain, and financial services. The frontier tech lens makes them relevant for ConTech founders building deep-tech products—robotics, advanced materials, computer vision for construction, or industrial automation. Best fit for technically ambitious founders where the IP is defensible and the technology is genuinely novel. They are not a PropTech specialist but will invest in construction/real estate if the underlying tech is breakthrough rather than incremental.

Tomas M. Krogh
Fractional Chief Commercial Officer
I specialize in taking founder-led commercial engines apart until only the parts that work are left standing. Before advising, I operated-scaling a business from zero to the FT1000 list three years running and facilitating 10 billion DKK in property transactions. I don't write polite advisory decks; I give you the exact commercial reality check you need before an investment committee does it for you.
