Flashpoint is an international tech investment firm with approximately $600 million in assets under management (AUM), focusing on U.S. and Western European tech companies originating from Europe and MENA. Flashpoint manages seven funds across three products: Venture Growth, Growth Debt, and Direct Secondary. The firm is headquartered in London, with offices in New York, Tel Aviv, Budapest, and Riga. Investors in Flashpoint’s funds include Széchenyi Funds, a Hungarian fund manager, and more than 180 major family offices and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). The funds have invested in 80 companies, including Guesty, Chili Piper, and OfficeRnD. Flashpoint has completed 28 exits, such as the sale of its stakes in Shazam (to Apple), Chess.com (to PokerStars founders and General Atlantic), Marketman (to PSG), Gurushots (to Zedge), Comeet (to Boathouse Capital), and OfficeRnD (to Blue Star Innovation Partners), among others. At Flashpoint, our mission is to bring together capital, knowledge, people, and best practices to foster socially responsible development. While monetary returns are important, the intangible aspects of our work are equally significant to our team. We have invested a third of our capital in themes that aim to make the world a better place, including e-learning, telemedicine, and online job platforms.
