Overview
Rainmaking is a pan-European startup factory that co-invests in startups. It supports and funds early-stage companies across Europe, providing capital and hands-on help through its network. Its product is the combination of investment plus operational support, mentorship, and access to a wide network to help young companies grow, scale, and reach market traction. What sets Rainmaking apart is its large, Europe-wide portfolio model and the co-investment approach, partnering with other investors to back a broad slate of startups rather than focusing on a single accelerator or a narrow domain. The company’s goal is to help founders turn ideas into scalable businesses across Europe while delivering returns by building and scaling a diverse portfolio of startups.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Barclays partnered with Rainmaking in February 2022 for global fintech venture studio work.
- Rainmaking keeps winning corporate mandates, including Finanza.tech's June 2026 partnership.
- Rainmaking still operates across Europe, America, MENA, with 30+ co-invested companies.
What critics are saying
- Co-investment erased guaranteed fees, making revenue dependent on venture outcomes and exits.
- APAC talent already moved to Bain in July 2023, shrinking Rainmaking's operating footprint.
- Portfolio exposure includes Railsr and Penta; failures there undermine employer credibility.
What makes Rainmaking unique
- Rainmaking co-builds ventures with corporates, then takes equity instead of pure fees.
- Its 2023 Bain APAC sale validated Rainmaking's venture-building playbook in Asia.
- Rainmaking says it launched 250+ ventures and accelerated 1,400+ startups.
