Published team coverage: four current own partners plus Lisa Edgar’s published founding-LP/senior-adviser appointment and Emil Nobrant’s self-profile affiliation are represented. Lisa and Emil are explicitly current-unverified when absent from the current own directory; Emil’s exact duties are undisclosed. Aggregate nine-employee cards do not identify the remaining people. Alan Cannistraro is mentioned in a partner’s congratulatory comment without an exact manager role, so remains queued for primary duties. Christian Dorffer’s automatic Spinnable employee card does not establish employment or board duties there; no such startup Role is created. His actual Florent partner role is independently established.

Portfolio and identity: thirteen distinct publicly named portfolio cards are mapped in the companion queue, with four exact-domain native reuses linked as investments of unknown terms. Missing company profiles are queued for full research rather than bare stubs. The Coral reliability card actually links phoebe.ai; native Coral/startcoral.com is not assumed identical. Native Upside/upside.com and Qualia/qualia.com are unrelated product/domain namesakes to upside.tech and qualiastudios.dev. Partner-level notable past investments (Canva, Svea Solar, Daedalean, Rover, Astranis, Selfbook and Neara) are not automatically holdings of the new firm. Five unnamed stealth descriptions do not identify startups. Spinnable’s own Florent listing with Heartcore co-investor context establishes an investment but not the exact November2025 USD2m pre-seed participation, fund vehicle or ticket.

Fund launch and size: fundcraft’s own September11,2025 release confirms a launched debut Luxembourg SCSp and digital administration. The exact legal fund name is not published, so the display name is descriptive. Bloomberg reports a EUR50m target and an August2025 first close; primary achieved corpus and exact first-close date have not been established, and amount remains null. The provider’s aggregate EUR12bn commitments and its own EUR12m financing are unrelated to Florent fund size. The manager’s September15,2025 video launch post is later marketing publication, not a second fund.
