A founder-led venture builder and investor.
We back early-stage companies and build new ones from scratch.
What excites us
We love early-stage. The unknowns. The pressure. The pace. It’s messy, intense - and yes: insanely rewarding.
We’re drawn to founders who care deeply. About the product. The team. The customer. Who move fast, think clearly, and elevate others along the way.
It’s not about the category, industry, or territory. It’s about potential - and the will to make it real. If both are there, we’re in.

Our story
1105 started as a way to fund and grow spin-offs from November Five - founded by Nick, Thomas, Vincent, and Tom. But it quickly became more than that: a platform to build on everything we’ve created - the experience, expertise, capital, and relationships.
Over the past 17 years, we’ve built seven ventures, raised €35M, led three exits, brought companies to profitability - and missed with one. We’ve grown teams, shipped products people love, and earned customer trust. Not every bet worked - but every one taught us something.
Now we’re ready to do even more - because this is what we love to do. The name? A tribute to where it all began: November Five. Our first venture. Our foundation. The start of everything that followed.
