Our approach

Motivation

“You really should give it a try.” is a phrase you hear again and again when talking to people about new business ideas. Too many promising ideas are nipped in the bud by a lack of motivation. Through our personal contact with founders, we want to put an end to this and encourage them to put their ideas into practice.

Know-How

Thanks to our experience from numerous own start-up projects, a unique network and wide-ranging expertise, we can identify product and process challenges right at the start of a project and set the right course at an early stage to put the business model on a successful long-term course.

Capital

The development of an idea through to the finished product can quickly exceed your own financial resources and is often the biggest hurdle in the start-up phase. We therefore provide quick and uncomplicated access to the required capital and advise on where and how the money can be used most effectively.

Our mission

We want to give innovative personalities the opportunity to turn their ideas into reality and find the necessary partners for their projects. To this end, we support them throughout the start-up process and advise them both operationally and strategically with our wide-ranging technical, financial and legal expertise. We share our experience from more than 10 years of entrepreneurship and numerous start-up projects. And all of this completely free of charge.

Our Strategy

There are attractive investment opportunities in every sector. Unlike our competitors, we do not limit ourselves to certain sectors or key figures, but are always open to new investments. As this gives us more investment opportunities, we are able to choose the best ones. In this way, we have already launched numerous successful ventures across our economic landscape in the past.

Our principles

Proactive

We have been successfully anticipating social and technical developments for many years and deriving new entrepreneurial strategies and investment decisions from them. Through differentiated forward planning and targeted action, we are able to exploit opportunities where others fail.

Innovative

The aim of our company is to accelerate change and innovation. Our comprehensive and versatile understanding of various products and markets enables us to quickly and precisely evaluate and develop the potential of new business areas. Regular interdisciplinary exchange is at the heart of our innovative strength.

Motivational

Entrepreneurship always requires a high degree of willingness to take risks and the ability to deal with uncertainty. Therefore, one of our most important tasks is not only to convey know-how for solving complex tasks through our personal commitment, but also to strengthen self-confidence in one's own abilities. In this way, we encourage our partners to take on new challenges and put their ideas into practice.

Personal

As investors and mentors, we maintain a close personal relationship with all our partners. We try not only to support strategic decisions, but also to contribute to the personal development of our partners. We are convinced that everyone involved can always learn and benefit from each other. Each of our partners can develop and fulfill their own role in our entrepreneurial cosmos based on their individual skills and knowledge. The financial success of our projects is the result of our individual, comprehensive support with a unique relationship of mutual trust.
