The best way
to predict the future
is to create it.

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.

The DACH region provides a great ecosystem for successful founders mainly driven by great (technical) universities and already successful unicorns which have become new founder breeding grounds. Following the muted investor sentiment in 2022 due to capital markets’ uncertain developments, it has become more challenging for founders to raise capital. While others are standing still and observing how this development unfolds, we believe that the current macro-environment poses a great investment opportunity for deploying capital anticyclically at attractive valuations.

The ConsumerTech industry and consumer behaviour have been changing tremendously since 2020, mainly driven by events such as COVID-19 and macro-economic developments (e.g., inflation and supply chain crisis). As a consequence, we are now faced with more open-minded consumers when it comes to innovations that are requiring a certain tech affinity and that are fulfilling consumer needs with respect to an increased comfort, efficiency or flexibility. Therefore, we are excited to partner with founders that are able to capitalize on this new environment with great ideas and customer-centric approach.

Since 2018, investment in FinTech has skyrocketed, bolstered by several major FinTech deals that were characterized by their size and geographic diversity. In 2021, venture capital investment in FinTech was strong despite global uncertainty with investment from VC sources totalling a record USD 115 billion. Despite the recent drop in more developed FinTech enterprises’ valuations, we see a great opportunity to support emerging FinTech players to build more solid businesses with lessons learned from their predecessors.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership.

We are concerned with putting a focus to invest in businesses which share and embrace a positive effect on these SDGs. In particular, we are trying to positvely influence the following SDGs with our investment strategy: Good Health and Wellbeing, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Reduced Inequalities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions and Partnerships for the Goals.
