Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Simile Venture Partners?

Simile Venture Partners has not publicly named its investment committee, managing partners, or deal leads. The firm's website and regulatory filings list no individual principals, which is consistent with its Luxembourg SPF structure — a vehicle type often used for discreet family or private-wealth pools that do not market to external institutional LPs.

How does Simile Venture Partners source proprietary deal flow?

The firm's website emphasizes macro-level digital-adoption data across twenty countries as its framing lens rather than a disclosed network or on-the-ground sourcing model. Without named local partners or regional offices, its deal flow likely depends on the personal relationships of its undisclosed principals and the co-investment networks they access, particularly in Europe, India, Southeast Asia, and the UAE — all markets where the firm has held active positions or realized exits.

Is Simile Venture Partners structured as a single-family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?

Simile Venture Partners is structured as an SPF (société de gestion de patrimoine familial) in Luxembourg, a legal form reserved for the management of private familial wealth. It operates with a venture-capital mandate — direct seed and startup-stage investments — but without the fund-cycle pressure or institutional LP disclosure requirements typical of a conventional VC firm. The result is a hybrid architecture that looks like a family office running a multi-geography venture book.

Does Simile Venture Partners participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

Available evidence points exclusively to direct and co-investment deals. The firm's website lists current and exited portfolio companies — Aeyde, Slice, Fleksy, SellAnyCar, Auto1 Group, Spinny, Tech in Asia, ByHours — with no mention of fund-of-funds commitments or LP stakes in external VC funds. Its Luxembourg SPF charter is also more naturally suited to holding direct assets than participating in third-party fund structures.

Which sectors does Simile Venture Partners explicitly avoid?

Simile Venture Partners does not publish an exclusion list, but its portfolio composition tilts heavily toward consumer-internet and fintech businesses enabled by mobile penetration — fashion e-commerce, digital banking, automotive marketplaces, and software keyboards. Sectors such as deep tech, biotech, hardware, and pure enterprise infrastructure appear absent from its disclosed track record.
