In our Venture Capital fund, we follow a deliberately focused approach. Our portfolio is made up of a small number of companies, which allows us to dedicate time, attention, and energy to each one. We don’t make dozens of bets — we invest where we believe, with conviction.
When we met Keeyns, we quickly realized we were looking at a concrete solution to a global, widespread, and structural problem: how companies manage their global corporate tax obligations and compliance.
The perfect storm in tax management.
In recent years, the world of corporate taxation has changed dramatically:
- International directives and new regulations have drastically increased complexity and the risk of non-compliance;
- Tax advisory costs have surged, while internal processes remain fragmented, manual, and vulnerable;
- And perhaps most importantly, there is an urgent need for control and audit-readiness.
Keeyns emerges at this exact point of friction — offering a collaborative tax platform that simplifies compliance, reduces costs, and ensures both operational and strategic control.
What convinced us.
Our investment thesis rests on one of the most critical factors for us: founders who are born inside the problem.
In Keeyns’ case, the founders bring over 25 years of experience as international tax advisors. They have a deep, practical understanding of the industry’s challenges, earned on the ground alongside multinational companies that face the complexity and risks of global tax management daily.
On top of that, they have built a vast network of clients, including Valentino, WeTransfer and Tricorp, and partners over the years — validating both their reputation and knowledge of the market.
This is precisely the kind of founder profile we look for: Individuals with deep technical expertise, commercial acumen, and a clear vision for solving a real problem through scalable technology.
The product reflects this vision, designed with clarity and a deep understanding of the customer and already validated by multiple reference companies processing their tax transactions through the platform.
More than a good idea, an inevitability.
What truly impressed us about Keeyns was the sense that this is not just a good product — it’s an inevitable infrastructure requirement in a world where tax complexity is only increasing.
We believe that within a few years, it will be unthinkable for a large global enterprise not to have a solution like Keeyns at the core of its tax operations.
That’s why we proudly invested in Keeyns.
