We are delighted to announce Colin's promotion to Partner. Since he joined Balderton in 2016, Colin has had a significant impact on both Balderton and our portfolio. He works closely with companies like VanMoof, Finoa and Ory and has assisted with countless other companies, supporting our founders as they scale. Colin has strengthened our position in DACH by establishing our permanent presence in Berlin and bringing in Shikha Ahluwalia, whom we are delighted to have.
