Investment Stages

Pre-Seed
Investing

Enabling founders to unfold
their full potential

We support different types of founders beginning from the early days of founding their business with our expertise and network. Our common objective is to elevate talented & passionate founders while serving as an entrepreneurial sparring partner and providing the opportunity for them to exchange with seasoned industry experts, likeminded founders and established businesses.

We love to partner with founders who have strong academic and professional backgrounds as well as the entrepreneurial drive to realize ideas that might seem impossible at first.

Investing

Supporting founders with
critical decision-making

We engage in Seed investments where the founding team has developed an innovative business model that is determined to change the future of a specific industry. Within that stage, we provide substantial support in developing a clear product-market fit, go-to-market strategy and supporting with the creation and prioritzation of growth and profitability initiatives.

Our main focus is to partner with founders that are able to build a sound operating model based on solid business foundations rather than purely looking for a straight-forward growth opportunity. By providing our expertise in building, scaling and optimizing businesses from different stages we actively take part in shaping the operating model and building these strong foundations.
