Yvonne Bajela is bringing $17M in fresh capital to Europe’s startup scene

Evertrue Capital, a new venture capital fund founded by Yvonne Bajela, has closed its debut fund of $17 million, which will focus on early-stage investments in the UK and Europe, particularly in AI and fintech. The fund has already backed seven companies and plans to invest in at least 20 companies over the next three years, with an average check size of £350,000. Bajela has previously worked at LocalGlobe and Impact X Capital Partners, where she invested in companies such as Wise, Marshmellow, and Mooves, and believes that the current AI boom has created new opportunities for early-stage investors like herself. The UK startup scene is currently having a moment, with hubs like King's Cross and companies like Revolut, Synthesia, ElevenLabs, and CuspAI redefining what it means to scale and attract success in the UK market.
