Stars
Black Forest Labs Series A & B follow-on for $450M+
Earlybird doubled down in December 2025, joining Black Forest Labs' $450M+ Series A/B follow-on that values the generative AI leader at about $3.2B, reinforcing its top-market-share position in Europe's AI infra.
With estimated ARR of $120M in FY2025 and 90% YoY growth in high‑quality image/video models, Black Forest Labs fits the Star quadrant: dominant share in a hyper‑growth market.

SpAItial $13M Seed investment in 3D world models
SpAItial raised a $13M seed in 2025 to lead spatial intelligence, combining AI with 3D data to reshape industrial design and simulation, targeting a market projected to reach $45B by 2030 (CAGR ~22%).

Sintra AI $17M Seed for AI-native employee agents
Sintra AI raised $17M seed to deploy AI-native employee agents targeting SMBs, capturing ~6-8% of the nascent European SME agent market within 12 months as agentic AI spending grows at ~38% CAGR to $45B by 2028.
Early leadership and rapid ARR ramp (estimated $2.4M ARR, burn as scale-up) place Sintra AI in Earlybird Venture Capital's Star quadrant; it's a cash-absorber while expanding GTM across 8 European countries.

Cash Cows
N26 Neo-banking leadership with 8M+ customers
N26, once a Star, now a Cash Cow with 8.5M+ customers (2025), holds ~12% share of EU digital banking users and generates recurring revenue from 7.3M active accounts and €220M in annual revenue (2025), stabilizing returns for Earlybird and validating their long-term fintech thesis.
UiPath post-IPO legacy and secondary liquidity
Earlybird's remaining stake and legacy ties to UiPath-post-IPO and following Digital East's 2024 spin-off-serve as both reputational anchor and secondary liquidity source, with UiPath generating roughly $1.2bn in free cash flow over FY2025 and returning ~$400m in buybacks/dividends to shareholders.
UiPath is now a mature market leader in Robotic Process Automation (RPA), with FY2025 revenue of $1.8bn and annual growth slowed to ~8%, shifting the sector from high-growth to established.
The company's strong profitability and public-market distributions create a halo effect, underwriting Earlybird's fund-level IRR and enabling ~€60-90m of follow-on allocations into riskier early-stage deals from realized gains in 2025.
Getsafe insurtech exit and market consolidation
Getsafe's late-2025 exit returned €210m to Earlybird, converting a former Star into a Cash Cow as European insurtech deal value hit €3.8bn in 2025 and sector M&A rose 42% year-over-year.
Post-exit, Getsafe retains 34% share among EU millennial/Gen Z insureds and delivers steady EBIT margins near 22%, making it a reliably "milked" revenue stream for portfolio distributions.
Shape Memory Medical $38M Series C leadership
Shape Memory Medical, a Series C leader with $38M raised in 2025, sits in Earlybird Health's Cash Cows: it commands ~35% market share in antigen-modulation medtech and benefits from high regulatory barriers that create a durable moat.
Its segment shows steady revenue CAGR ~8% (2020-2025) and predictable milestone-driven valuation steps, making it less volatile than software peers and delivering reliable portfolio cash flow.
- 2025 Series C: $38,000,000
- Estimated market share: 35%
- Segment CAGR (2020-2025): ~8%
- Regulatory moat: high entry barriers, consistent milestones
Finmid Series A and €35M total funding with tripled revenue
Finmid, after its Series A and €35M total funding (2025), has tripled revenue to €30M ARR, securing dominant share in European B2B embedded-finance niches and now 'milks' long-term platform partnerships.
Growth continues but margins and cash conversion improved to 18% EBITDA, making Finmid the steady fintech-backbone Cash Cow in a consolidating market.
- €35M total funding (Series A completed 2025)
- €30M ARR (3x growth year-over-year)
- 18% EBITDA margin, high cash conversion
- Leading market share in targeted EU B2B niches
