We can do more for our entrepreneurs than writing checks. We're hands-on partners, providing the support and resources you need to take your business to the next level. We've been involved intensely in dozens of challenging ventures throughout our careers, that's the peculiar experience and passion we leverage.
Our expertise lies in the pillars of entrepreneurship and management:
Go-to-market, especially where it concern branding and digital growth;
Scaling, particularly as the art of fast growth is experience-based;
Personal Development as managing the emotional roller coaster and team dynamics that come with being an entrepreneur are critical to success and happiness.
We did the start-up and scaling ride ourselves. We know what it is to take risk and travel the journey: a rollercoaster ride of excitement, hard work and setbacks. We think we did good things, sure, but we also made our set of mistakes and took our learnings. Wherever you are headed, there will be surprises, obstacles or even closed doors. We aim to be by your side and look for the keys to burst through.
Through experience we've acquired complementary skills relevant to any founding team, be it about branding and digital go-to-market, sales and product roadmaps, recruiting strategies or capital rounds. We support decision making by identifying patterns and potential pitfalls, or by pointing towards the right contact person. We find it valuable to have casual catch-ups with our founders to ensure we do not miss out on an opportunity to help.
We bring a big network. The more one learns in life the more one realizes a limited set of people actually know very little. Stemming from our background in tier 1 consulting and our roots in micro mobility and consumer goods, our professional network is likely very relevant to you.
Having the right connections can fast-track your progress by years. For most early stage ventures that's the difference between succeeding and failing. Whether you need specialized knowledge, market access, or unbiased feedback, our advisors are here to help.
We nurture an ecosystem with dozens of teams active in the same industry. It's no surprise that they encounter similar challenges: standing out in a crowded digital market, managing expanding teams, and dealing with occasional issues at home.
It does help on all fronts to be surrounded by peers. Be amazed by the power of sharing. At least every quarter we try to get together on a specific topic, but there is also plenty of room to touch base informally with each other.
Oh yes, we do invest of course. We are not a consulting boutique: we want skin in the game. We are a supporting and (pro)active investor who often lead the round and follow-ons. Ticket sizes? We are ok with starting out low, as long as there is clear ambition and hence funding needs in the 24 months after the initial investment. We do late seed between EUR 100-300k; and scale investments between EUR 500k and 5m.

We are not banks. Beyond money we offer skills, network and experience. We are entrepreneurs ourselves, we've been there before.
