VENTURE CAPITAL
What We Look For
We focus on projects that are meant to be international, whether due to its intended market reach, by its nature or as a result of its supply chain. We are particularly interested in models that benefit from cross-border expansion, network effects, or operational excellence rather than pure capital intensity.
The typical characteristics we are seeking include a clear value proposition, a sound commercial scenario, and a credible path to growth or strategic relevance.
Sectors and Themes
Our investment themes reflect where we can be genuinely helpful, not just present with capital. We primarily target:
- B2B services supporting real-economy sectors.
- Hospitality, travel, and real-asset adjacencies where operational experience matters.
- Business infrastructure and financial infrastructure that facilitate cross‑border trade and capital flows.
The common thread is an emphasis on resilient business models, disciplined unit economics, and the potential to build enduring franchises.
How We Work with Founders
We aim to be a concentrated, involved partner rather than a passive minority investor. Our support typically includes:
- Strategic sparring on positioning, pricing, and international expansion.
- Help in structuring key hires and incentive schemes.
- Introductions to co‑investors, lenders, and strategic partners in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
- Practical input on preparing for future funding rounds or strategic options.
Founders can expect direct access to partners, clear and honest feedback, and a measured approach to growth.
Investment Parameters
As a holding company investing proprietary capital, we have flexibility on structure and horizons. We typically:
- Invest at Seed to Series A stages, with room to follow on.
- Take minority stakes with meaningful influence rights.
- Seek alignment through governance rather than financial engineering.
We are open to co‑investments alongside other funds where there is a strong fit in philosophy and roles.
