Creating an unfair advantage

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The partners of Born Capital are seasoned CFOTech veterans. Our expertise, network, and business savvy give the startups we invest in the unfair advantage. It is the key that unlocks their potential to become CFOTech industry leaders.

Our Focus

We invest in early stage startups with proven product market fit who empower CFOs for the future of finance. By automating the CFO suite and enabling them to draw deep insights from real-time data, CFO’s will become the biggest drivers of business value this decade. This evolution is being engineered with the emerging technology of AI, Robotic Process Automation, Cloud, Big Data and Analytics – and our exceptional CFOTech startup teams.

SUCCESS STORIES

Each partner at Born Capital has either founded, grown and successfully exited their own CFOTech company. Each has since become sought-after consultants, advisors, and angel investors in the industry. In our next phase, we aim to leverage our successful track record to invest with growth-minded limited partners and work with the most promising startups in CFOTech.
