our approach

How do we support our startups?

/ 01

We invest super early.

As the initial investors in the startups we back, we participate in angel or pre-seed rounds. We frequently collaborate with other funds and angels, and act as the lead investor where required.

/ 02

We are very hands-on.

We devote several hours per week to each of our startups, primarily assisting them in building an investable MVP with adequate traction. 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

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 your startup as soon as possible.
