Entourage

Entourage operates both a venture studio and an early-stage venture capital arm. The studio builds and launches companies internally, while the VC side invests in external seed and start-up stage startups. Both are focused exclusively on B2B SaaS, and the firm's public positioning emphasizes its studio heritage as a primary mode of company creation.

Entourage states it is backed by more than 50 entrepreneurs from across the globe. It publicly names founders of Showpad, Collibra, Deliverect, Silverfin, Lighthouse, Teamleader, and Aikido as part of its network and investor base, indicating its capital largely originates from experienced operators rather than traditional institutional LPs.

Entourage targets the earliest stages of company formation. Its website specifies 'early stage venture capital' and 'backing exceptional founders from zero to one,' concentrating on seed and start-up phases. The firm does not mention growth-stage or later-stage investing.

The firm invests exclusively in B2B SaaS companies. Its primary geographic footprint is in Europe, with its headquarters in Ghent, Belgium, and a network rooted in the Benelux region. The firm has not disclosed specific geographic limitations, but its operator network and studio operations are European-centric.

Entourage's main sourcing advantage appears to be its network of over 50 entrepreneurial backers who founded companies such as Collibra and Showpad. This founder community likely provides direct referrals and proprietary access to early-stage European software companies, though the firm does not detail a formal origination process on its website.
