Investor Yvonne Bajela closes $17M debut fund for Evertrue Capital
Yvonne Bajela has officially closed her first fund, Evertrue Capital, securing $17 million to invest in early-stage AI and fintech startups across Europe.
Investor Yvonne Bajela has launched Evertrue Capital, a $17 million debut fund aimed at backing early-stage startups in the U.K. and Europe. The fund, which is officially closed and oversubscribed, will focus primarily on the fintech and artificial intelligence sectors.
Bajela brings over a decade of venture capital experience to the firm, having previously worked at LocalGlobe and Impact X Capital Partners. Her track record includes early bets on high-growth companies such as Wise and Marshmellow. Evertrue has already completed seven investments and aims to support at least 20 companies over the next three years, with an average ticket size of approximately £350,000.
In a competitive market for emerging fund managers, Bajela suggests that the recent boom in AI development provides a unique landscape for early-stage investment. By prioritizing long-term growth potential in a rapidly maturing European startup ecosystem, the firm seeks to capitalize on the increasing emergence of globally significant businesses originating outside of traditional tech hubs.
