Founding Partner at Cherry Ventures · Joined 2012
View Live Interactive Profile →Filip Dames is the clearest embodiment of Cherry Ventures' original thesis that Europe needed founders-turned-investors who understood the mechanics of blitzscaling from the inside. Before co-founding Cherry in 2012, he founded a digital marketplace for art and collectibles and joined Zalando's founding team, working across product, business development, and international expansion during the company's earliest and most explosive growth years. That Zalando background remains central to the firm's credibility among first-time operators building across fragmented European markets.
