Multiple Capital is a micro-VC focused fund of funds that invests in VC funds in Europe and the US. We seek out innovative, emerging fund managers (teams and solo) in niche geographies and verticals that are often overlooked and inaccessible for many investors.
By leveraging our extensive network of founders, GPs, and experts, Multiple Capital invests in a range of both generalized local funds and specialized sector funds, which gives our investors the opportunity to participate in some of the greatest technological innovations of the coming decades.
I have decided to post more about diversification and the asset class of Venture Capital in general this year. My first article in the series aims to explain why buy-and-hold strategies in other asset classes, such as real estate and Equity ETFs, should also be applied to large startup portfolios or general private company portfolios. Please feel free to comment if you agree or disagree. I am interested in your feedback in general.

Fundraising #60
European LPs always try to make GPs compliant, submissive, and quiet. They are allowed an opinion, but not to be contrarian. The GP should not look, act, or talk contrary. They want outlier returns without accepting outlier thinking or acting. That's the fundamental paradox I see with many European LPs.
It is impossible to generate long-term outlier returns by keeping your focus on traditional bankable products. Don't buy the track record of the largest funds today when their track record was produced with small funds in the past. Don't buy IBM and expect NVIDIA or Openai.

3 Titans... 1 Stage.. No Consensus.
European venture is booming, but beneath the surface, a quiet war is raging.
The war of who actually deserves your capital in this new cycle.
At the EUVC Summit & Awards Show, we’re putting the question front and center with three of Europe’s most active LPs, each with a completely different thesis:
—David Clark, CIO at VenCap International plc
Backs top-tier, long-established managers with proven track records.
—Ertan Can, Founder at Multiple Capital
Betting exclusively on Europe's micro VCs and emerging talent.
—Chloe Dagnell, Principal at Isomer Capital
Doubling down on outliers through co-investments and secondaries.
All three are chasing the same goal of superior long-term returns but their strategies couldn’t be more different.
This is the real discussion European venture needs... sharp, unscripted, and long overdue.

If you care about where the market is heading and not just who's already won, this is the session you don’t want to miss.
Comment “SUMMIT” to join the allocators writing Europe’s next playbook.
🌍 Multiple Capital is Europe’s first tech-focused fund of micro funds—backing 1,000+ early-stage startups across Europe and the U.S.
On Swimming with Allocators, founder Ertan Can shares how he went from a family office to building a platform that backs solo GPs and micro VCs across fragmented markets. Plus, Christopher Hollins of SVB shares his perspective on liquidity, treasury, and infrastructure for venture managers.
🎧Listen to the episode to hear more about:
🔹 The rise of solo GPs in Europe
🔹 Investing across borders and structures
🔹 What U.S. LPs overlook in EU VC
🔹 Finding outliers in underserved geographies
🔗 https://lnkd.in/d3NiVSGS#EuropeanVC#LPStrategy#OpenLP
Finding the right LPs can feel overwhelming.
Especially for emerging managers.
Ertan Can shared his recommendations on what approaches you have available a few months ago on our EUVC podcast:
👉 Identify the most realistic LPs for your fund
Start with the people closest to you.
Smaller family offices.
Fellow angel investors.
Founders who invest in funds.
👉 Leverage warm intros
Have someone with market credibility introduce you.
It makes a world of difference in getting your fund noticed.
👉 Stick to your strategy
Be consistent.
Changing your approach every six months only creates noise and dilutes your message.

Why do some LPs shy away from solo GPs? The answer might surprise you.
Many investors see team risk as a reason to avoid solo GPs—but what if the real risk is the team itself? 🤔
In last week's Swimming with Allocators episode, Ertan Can of Multiple Capital breaks down why 80-90% of the funds he backs are solo GPs. He explains why the risk of a single decision-maker is often less than the risk of an untested team.
🎥 Watch this clip where my co-host Alexa Binns asks him why he prefers solo GPs despite industry skepticism.
📢 No new episode this week, but we’ll be back next Wednesday with a fresh conversation. Until then, let’s discuss in the comments—where do you stand on solo GPs?
