Alex Menn at Begin Capital combines 12+ years of European private equity experience across 50+ deals totaling $3.5B with his own startup founding background, bringing late-stage discipline to early-stage AI and software investments. He's known for his TV series metaphor approach to portfolio construction where each investment is an episode and his preference for long, narrative-driven pitches from founders rather than traditional short decks.

Notable Investments
Begin Capital positions itself as a TV series where each investment is an episode and fund vintages are seasons, with founders as actors and investment managers as casting directors. They back three founder archetypes—Pirates (rule-challenging risk-takers), Winners (globally ambitious conquerors), and Robots (hyper-analytical operators)—and split outreach between partners who specialize in narrative-driven versus numbers-driven pitches.
