We tend to be the very first equity investors in startup businesses and often act as lead investors. We provide companies with support before, during, and after the investment. With already some startups in our investment portfolio, we truly understand the needs entrepreneurs have and work with them side by side. We syndicate investments coming from our network of angel investors and other national and international funding alternatives.
