About us

Independent, by design.

We are totally independent, thanks to investments coming exclusively from funds from a single family office of a serial entrepreneur.

We have a simple management and decision process, which facilitates the life of the entrepreneur.

We provide stability to the entrepreneurs we invest in, together with the experience of having endured tough times, made lots of errors in the past, and then achieved great successes and exits.

We are active in companies across many different sectors, countries and cultures.

What we do

Six ways we work with founders.

01

Start-ups Accelerator

We partner with the founder, investing in the company and bringing perspective and focus in the strategy and execution.

02

Venture Builder

We hire a founder to launch a new business and bring initial funding, the vision, experience and hands-on support.

03

Active Investor

We invest at seed or pre-seed stage, supporting the management actively on critical areas and to structure the business.

04

Turning distressed companies profitable

We invest in distressed companies, supporting the founder on the critical areas to turn them into sustainable businesses.

05
