For startups and scale-ups
We support ambitious technology-driven companies that already have market traction and are preparing for their next stage of growth. Our focus is on startups and scale-ups with a finished product, commercial validation and recurring revenue, typically from €150K to €200K annual revenue and above.
Flexible funding
We provide flexible investment solutions designed to help founders accelerate growth, strengthen their runway or close a funding round. Depending on the opportunity, we can structure investments through standard loans, convertible loans or co-investment mechanisms alongside other investors.
