Investing in Corporate Proofs of Concept for Tomorrow’s Innovation
SCROLL TO EXPLORE
Financing pilot projects between corporates and innovators
ABOUT
Our Genesis
Challenge
According to statistics, 9 out of 10 startups fail—most often due to a lack of market need. (42% – CB Insights)
Opportunity
The market constantly needs innovation. Corporations spend millions on R&D, while innovative enterprises already develop their solutions.
Our VC finances B2B projects that solve corporate problems, thus supporting successful innovations rather than betting on a few wild horses.
Challenges & Our Solutions
Challenge
Off-balance sheet investments are often not possible, but external innovation is needed.
CVCs (Corporate Venture Capitals) are not possible to launch for many corporates and tend to underperform compared to traditional VCs.
Our approach
We provide access to innovation with minimised financial and operational risk.
We offer our expertise to enhance the effectiveness of your venture capital initiatives.
Challenge
Significant funding gap between initial seed investments and later-stage funding.
Early-stage startups often need more traction to attract further investment.
Our approach
We bridge funding gaps and support the development of Proof of Concept (POC) and Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
We facilitate dynamic growth and increased traction through strategic corporate connections.
Challenge
Desire for a balanced risk/reward investment model.
Current models may not effectively balance risk and return.
Our approach
We minimise risks by partnering startups with corporates, ensuring robust value creation and accelerated sales cycles.
We offer a balanced investment model designed to address common venture capital challenges and enhance returns.
