Pixelmatters Ventures
Backing early-stage tech founders with hands-on product and engineering expertise in exchange for equity or revenue share.
Pixelmatters Ventures operates as an investment entity targeting founders whose business is centered around a digital product. The firm's model, described as "By Founders, for Founders," focuses on providing "craft capital" and actively building alongside the companies it invests in. This approach includes offering advice on operations and strategy, leveraging its own entrepreneurial experience.
The primary investment targets are founders, including those who are bootstrapped, demonstrating significant month-over-month growth or a consistent monthly recurring revenue. A key selection criterion is a founder's deep attention to product design and user experience. While open to global opportunities, the initial geographic focus is on companies based in Portugal and the United States.
The firm's revenue model is based on flexible investment structures, taking either equity or a share of revenue profits in exchange for its capital and support. This structure provides an alternative to traditional venture capital. Selected founders also gain access to an exclusive network of peers.
