For Entrepreneurs

Game changers need capital – often more than planned until they reach market entry and initial sales. Together with our partners we offer financing for innovative start-ups from seed to later stage. In addition to finances, our network organizes a platform for knowledge transfer and cooperation between start-ups and medium-sized companies, direct contact to industry experts, and much more.

We rely on this:

Trust

The most important factor of all! As co-partner, openness is the basis for everything!

Transparency

Figures, data, facts. For strategic support we have insight into all processes.

Exchange

Regular shareholder meetings and strategy meetings are a matter of course for us.

foresight

We look at the company from the outside and thus have a valuable perspective.


What happens next? Our process:

1. Initial contact
Often it is the direct line, our network or close advisors of the companies that establish the contact. For a first meeting we get an insight into the status quo and the planned project.
2. Evaluation
In the next step it is important to get to know all the people involved. We also go deeper into the company history and gain insight into balance sheets and order books.
3. Meeting(s) in person
If everything - people and figures - fit and the overall financing of the project appears realistic, then it becomes concrete: We develop an individual and sustainable financing model.
4. Term Sheet
The concrete steps and the common understanding are summarized in a Letter of Intent. Components are: Evaluation, investment amount, use of funds and rules for cooperation.
5. DD and board decision
Due Diligence (DD) examinations are initiated, e.g. on topics such as market, technology, law, finance. Our auditors are independent experts in their field and enjoy our full confidence.
6. Contracts and notary
After a positive decision by our committee, the participation agreements are drafted and the notary appointment is prepared. After the signature, the motto is: Welcome to the portfolio!
