Our Investment Focus
B2B
The B2B focus offers great potential for visionary startups, including those with an Enterprise focus or a software-driven hardware approach. We value their high customer loyalty, high-value subscription models, and various exit strategies.
Software
Companies of all sizes require effective software solutions to enhance productivity and gain a competitive edge. By leveraging AI, our startups build next-generation tools that are inherently scalable, offering a significant boost in revenue with highly efficient cost structures.
Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Europe
We focus on Europe’s strongest economic hubs, primarily across the DACH region, the Nordics, and Benelux. Our expansive network allows us to provide unparalleled support and expertise to businesses looking to scale their operations.
