About

20VC is a London-based venture capital firm founded by Harry Stebbings, a British entrepreneur and podcaster. Established in 2020, the firm has rapidly ascended to become one of Europe's leading tech investors, raising a $400 million fund in October 2024. This substantial capital positions 20VC among the continent's top venture funds.

The firm's investment strategy is characterized by a pragmatic approach, focusing on sustainable and enduring value in startups, particularly within the artificial intelligence sector. 20VC's portfolio includes notable companies such as AI coding startup Poolside and social media tool Linktree. The firm has also expanded its operations to include sub-funds dedicated to sales, growth, and product development, aiming to provide comprehensive support to its portfolio companies.

20VC's success is closely tied to the popularity of "The Twenty Minute VC," a podcast hosted by Stebbings that features interviews with prominent figures in the venture capital and startup ecosystems. The podcast has attracted millions of listeners and has been instrumental in building a strong network of founders and investors. This media presence has been a significant factor in the firm's ability to attract high-quality deal flow and establish a strong brand in the venture capital landscape.
