Investment Values
Over the years, we have come to learn what matters to us most when it comes to investing in startups. We’re open about our values because we want potential partners to better understand our expectations.
Sincere & open relationships
On average, 9 in every 10 startups will fail. We aim to learn from every each and every experience by building close and mutually beneficial relationships with our partners. We’re looking for people we would enjoy interacting with, who are good-natured and trustworthy. We also like people who are open and honest about the ups and the downs – a natural part of any endeavor.
Scalability beyond borders
We can tell you from now, we’re not interested if your idea is constricted to a certain country or area. We believe in ideas and structure that are designed with the likelihood of going global.
Investing in technology
Companies that invest heavily in manpower, especially at the seed stage, pose an exceedingly high risk. We much prefer when a large part of our investment goes into developing technology which can retain at least some of its value for shareholders if the project fails.
Validating assumptions
Startups naturally deal with a great deal of uncertainty. We believe that teams which use a structured scientific approach to validate their hypothesis have a significantly greater likelihood of success. We like to make sure core assumptions are always challenged and validated appropriately.
