How we work
VC our own way
We are close to founders.
As founders' trusted allies, we help navigate every crucial phase of their company's journey, paving their way to success. After two decades of building companies, we know well what truly matters and what is a waste of time.
We invest our own capital.
That means the ultimate 'skin in the game'. This commitment allows us to break free from the traditional funding cycles that typically demand shareholder payouts within a five-year horizon.
