About

WE INVEST OUR OWN MONEY

OUR STRATEGY

While VCs generally invest in companies with a unicorn growth trajectory, not every company is made and able to fulfill those ambitious goals regardless of how hard they try. We believe that some of these companies have the potential to become very profitable and lasting mid-sized businesses, however. Our aim is to partner up with these ventures and execute with a joint long-term vision. Here is how our approach differs from the market:

Net revenue p.a.
