Denis Shafranik is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Concentric, a London-based activist venture capital firm, having transitioned from nine years in investment banking at Barclays to full-time venture investing in 2011. He describes himself as an “activist venture investor” who takes a straight-talking, hands-on approach to structuring deals and building long-term partnerships with entrepreneurs. Concentric targets early-stage technology businesses and creative enterprises across Europe, with a mandate spanning both London and Copenhagen. Shafranik has served as the lead partner on 53 deals and typically acts as a lead investor rather than a follower. His notable portfolio companies include Wheely, Pockit, Huckletree, and Monese, for which he also serves as a board member. While he holds an EMBA from INSEAD and is a CFA charter-holder, there is no publicly available record of distinctive investment essays or published writing by Shafranik beyond his firm’s general activist positioning.
