Dawn In The News
Out of the three investments Dawn Capital made in 2008, two have been nominated for the prestigous peer-nominated and peer-reviewed Deal Envy of the Year at the Investor AllStars 2009.
Deal Envy of the Year
De la Maison – Nextstage Ventures
Ethical Superstore – NorthStar Equity Investors
Greetz – ePlanet
Spreadshirt – Kennet
Mimecast – Dawn Capital
Playfish – Accel
Spotify – Northzone/Wellington Partners
The Foundry – Advent Venture Partners
Wonga – Dawn Capital/Greylock/Accel
Monthly European Technology Venture Capital Bulletin August 2009
Update on Wonga Fundraise June 2009
In addition to the investors mentioned (Balderton joined by Accel and Greylock),
Dawn Capital also participated in the round. Interestingly, Dawn got their ticket in
via a secondary sale of shares in November 2008. Whilst a secondary sale is not
always an easy discussion with existing investors, companies find it may be
worthwhile to approach smaller, hungrier VCs such as Dawn Capital. For those who
don't know them, Dawn Capital specialises in Financial Services and Tech, Media
and Telecoms, and, in addition to Wonga, their portfolio includes Active Health
Partners, Cognitive Match, Gnodal, and Mimecast
