They have backed over 100 entrepreneurs in the last decade, and continue to look for outstanding entrepreneurs who share the passion for disrupting large markets and building long-lasting, great companies. They invest early stage, but, with nearly $2 billion of committed capital, they have the resources to support companies for the long term.

Balderton was founded in 2000 by Benchmark Capital, the leading US venture firm. In 2007 Balderton formally became independent, although Balderton maintain close ties with their Silicon Valley sibling.
