How do we work?

/ 01

We invest super early.

With a decent understanding of the industries we invest in, we are among the first to invest. Whether leading or following a round, we prioritize what makes the most sense in the given context.

/ 02

We are very hands-on.

We dedicate several hours each week to our founders, helping them achieve the traction necessary to secure their next round of funding. We are structured, evidence-based and always absolutely honest.

/ 03

We open doors.

Our close partnership with the Impact Hub grants us access to a vast network of entrepreneurs, experts, and decision-makers. As a result, we provide introductions and open doors for our startups regularly.

/ EXTRA

Pre-Investment Program

In the event that we are deeply passionate about you and your startup but believe that it may be too soon for you to get funded, we may invite you to participate in our Pre-Investment Program.

As part of this program, you will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with us, receive feedback and expert support, all at no cost, with the sole aim of investing in you as soon as possible.

OUR FOCUS

What do we invest in?

We invest in founders with an unreasonable level of commitment, talent and ambition. They need to have a connection with Central & Eastern Europe and be pursuing a startup in one of the following verticals:

/ 01

Health

The healthcare industry is facing a major transformation due to an aging population, longer life expectancy, escalating healthcare costs, and shortage of skilled personnel.

By investing in HealthTech startups, we aim to foster a world where cutting-edge healthcare is widely accessible, data-driven, efficient, and patient-centered.
/ 02

Sustainability

Businesses, consumers and governments are increasingly embracing sustainability due to growing awareness of climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality.

Our commitment to GreenTech startups stems from the belief that sustainable solutions are not only ethical choices but also critical drivers of increased profitability, market share, and resilience.
/ 03

Education

The education market is rapidly growing, driven by technological advancements, demand for personalized learning, and the rising importance of lifelong learning in today's economy.

We invest in EdTech startups to democratize access to high-quality learning resources and ensure that education remains the cornerstone of a thriving, equitable, and resilient society.
