Are you building the world of tomorrow?
We support your early stage startup with money, sparring and operational experience from more than 20 years of entrepreneurial experience with successful exits.
Our sweet spot
We invest in startups that address climate change, resource efficiency and waste prevention. We focus on angel and (pre)- seed stage investments in highly scalable startups led by teams that iterate quickly.
What we are here for
As founders ourselves, we know that the start-up phase is full of unknowns and uncertainty. We can help you make a difference with our own money, sparring and operational experience.
From founders to founders
Michal enjoys helping teams with their technical product vision and scaling the technical team in an efficient way. As an entrepreneur he is also happy to be your CEO sparring partner. Michal's former company ENGINIETY was acquired by EPAM (a global systems integrator).
Thomas is passionate about sparring on vision, fundraising, go-to-market and sales topics. If you ask him, he probably has an unconventional idea for your topic. He was CEO of his previous company Frontastic, which was acquired by commercetools.

The good grow focus
climate
change
The climate start-ups we can best support (apart from money) are those with a high proportion of software, as this has been our focus in the past. However, we may also be a good fit if you are developing a combined or pure hardware product or service, especially if you need support in building your organizational structure, storytelling and fundraising.

resource
efficiency
Many years of experience in eCommerce have taught us the importance of making better use of (limited) resources. We love startups that want to make better use of material and immaterial resources and address large markets (or believe that new large markets will emerge in the long term).
waste
prevention
Our years in e-commerce have sometimes led to too many unnecessary products being sold. That's why we are personally committed to supporting startups that are dedicated to eliminating waste. We can best help software-heavy startups, but we are not afraid to learn (and get to know each other) if you have little or no software focus.
How we operate
Money
Our standard ticket size is 75,000 Euro. We are happy to invest together with other business angels, early stage VCs or family offices. We will be happy to put you in touch if we are interested in investing in your startup.
