Renaissance is delighted to announce the appointment of Alastair Mitchell, co-founder and CEO of Huddle – the B2B SaaS business – as Managing Partner of EQT Ventures, with the remit of establishing and managing the West Coast advisory office of this Stockholm and London based fund.
Alastair spent nine years building Huddle into one of the leading enterprise document collaboration businesses, starting in London and then building out in the US from their base in San Francisco. This experience in building out a European technology business in the US will be an invaluable resource and offer unique insight for EQT Ventures and the European early stage companies they are funding.
The launch of the €566 million EQT Ventures fund earlier this year is one of the most exciting developments in the global venture capital industry. Founded by a group of the industry’s most experienced investment advisors, most of them company builders themselves, EQT Ventures is part of EQT, a global private equity group with a proven track record of developing companies – with more than 150 investments and 70 exits and an exceptional long-term growth focused strategy in place.
