A UNIQUE INVESTMENT APPROACH
FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.
We impact invest into
early-stage social and environmental enterprises that solve urgent global problems.
MAINSTREAM IMPACT INVESTING
BY BEING IN THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVATIONS
We want to change how we think about businesses and we want to change how we think about investments. There is a huge amount of capital available for investments, so why not choose something that as well creates positive impact?
OUR VISION
OUR MISSION
NAVIGATE SOCIAL ENTERPRISES
BY FINANCIAL VALIDATION AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
We support enterprises that have both impact and business goals embedded in their objectives. Our goal is to develop attractive innovative and sustainable companies by verifying their business and impact models. We believe that sustainable businesses are the core of sustainable solutions.
Our Impact Approach
FOOD, NATURE AND LIFE QUALITY
We have a holistic approach to impact investing, as global challenges and their current negative effects are highly interconnected. With a system level view we are able to better understand the ecosystem and find synergies as well as identify new stakeholders, markets and products.
That is why our selected areas of interest are food, nature and life quality. We aim for significant direct and indirect positive impact alongside financial returns.
TAILORED
FINANCING
We find the most suitable financial instrument and structure to maximize the impact and value of start-ups.
We tailor our equity and hybrid investments to the need of stakeholders.

DEVELOPMENT
We actively support our portfolio companies with developing their business and impact models. We help to find growth opportunities, partners as well as develop the organisation.
IMPACT
MANAGEMENT
We help start-ups to understand their positive change, define measurement indicators and implement a monitoring and reporting process. A clear impact process contributes to strategy and communication
