Highland Europe is a growth-stage venture capital fund that targets European and Israeli software companies at Series B and beyond, focusing on capital-efficient founders who have already proven product-market fit rather than following standard VC themes or hype cycles. The fund operates with a collaborative "hunt in packs" approach and has built an in-house platform function that provides curated expert networks and executive talent specifically for late-stage scaling challenges across Europe and the US.
