Headline

Headline is a global venture capital firm, formerly e.ventures, that invests from seed through growth stage and manages roughly $2.7 billion. Founded in 2009, it is structured as five discrete funds, each with its own dedicated team: early-stage funds in the United States, Europe, Asia and Brazil that invest locally from seed to Series A, and a single global growth fund that invests at Series B and beyond. The firm's offices are San Francisco, Berlin, Paris, London, Hamburg, Luxembourg, Sao Paulo, Taipei and Tokyo. It has no Singapore office; its Asia fund covers Japan, Taiwan, Korea and Southeast Asia from Taipei and Tokyo. The European practice has invested for more than two decades out of London, Paris and Berlin, and the Brazil fund searches Latin America for early-stage teams solving regional problems. Headline describes its growth strategy as Grassroots Growth, a first-principles approach built around the founders it backs and how its own team works rather than around late-stage momentum. Sector emphasis runs to software and SaaS, fintech, marketplaces and consumer applications. Notable investments include Sonos, Klarna, GoFundMe, Delivery Hero, Auto1, Revolut, Primer and the Brazilian proptech Loft, a portfolio that reflects the firm's split between US, European and Latin American early-stage exposure and later global growth rounds. Headline publishes editorial and video work alongside the funds and keeps a separate resource track for founders, and its stated principles emphasise operating as one firm across regions rather than as independent national teams.
