Alexia Yannopoulos

Alexia Yannopoulos is a Partner at Apis Partners, a London-headquartered growth-equity firm founded in 2014 that invests exclusively in tech-enabled financial services and financial infrastructure across Europe and growth markets. She re-joined Apis in 2025 as a Partner, where she is responsible for sourcing, executing and managing investments across the firm's portfolio. This is her second stint at the firm: she previously spent over seven years at Apis as a Director and later Managing Director, deploying growth capital into financial-services platforms globally.

Before returning to Apis, Alexia was a Partner at Pollen Street Capital, where she led growth-stage investments in financial infrastructure and innovation. Earlier she served as an Investment Director at SoftBank Investment Advisers, where she was responsible for the Vision Fund's fintech investment strategy across EMEA, focusing on transformative, technology-led financial-services businesses. Her earlier career included early-stage fintech investing at Anthemis Group and a role in Deutsche Bank's Financial Institutions Group covering M&A and capital-markets advisory.

A Greek national based in London, Alexia holds a Bachelor's degree in International Relations and Economics from Tufts University and a diploma in Political Studies from SOAS, University of London. Her career has been consistently focused on the intersection of technology and financial services across both developed European and emerging growth markets.

• Invests in high-growth, capital-light, tech-enabled financial services companies — payments, lending, digital banking, insurtech, wealth and financial infrastructure.
• Backs "ambitious management teams reshaping how payments, lending and insurance are built, delivered and accessed" (Apis firm thesis).
• Focuses geographically on Europe and Growth Markets (Africa, developing Asia ex-China), with a strong financial-inclusion angle.
• Operates at growth / expansion stage, typically taking minority positions with meaningful governance rights in proven, institutional-grade businesses — a materially different profile from angel or pre-seed investing.
• Draws on cross-market pattern recognition from prior roles at SoftBank Vision Fund (EMEA fintech), Pollen Street (financial infrastructure) and Anthemis (early-stage fintech).
