We are in constant exchange with our Business Units in the relevant markets. We work with them on assessing new opportunities and rely on them to providing expertise.

For Early-Stage investments, we invest around 150k-350k EUR per equity ticket. For later stage investments we can go beyond.

We see ourselves as a financially motivated strategic investor within our scope rather than an operational one and provide on top of that also strategic expertise in relevant markets. We provide our portfolio companies with funding, mentoring and access to markets.

Until 2024 we will focus our efforts on new investments and portfolio build-up. We prefer early stage companies, where our guidance can add significant value but are open to invest in a late stage too (Pre-Series A/ Series A Investments).

While we are located in Austria, our clear focus is Europe.

We target startups that are accelerating efforts do digitize and decarbonise on a European level. Do you have a strong vision (”Think Big” Mentality)? Do you solve big problems and manage to save a significant amount CO2 while doing so? Apart from that we are looking for the following in startups: Compelling customer value proposition and customer benefit Growing markets with great opportunities Sustainable competitive advantage (in an economic and ecological sense) A strong team Already founded Have a prototype / an MVP at least shown product-market-fit through first revenues ideally

A board seat or at least a board observer seat is our preferred option, as we want to help our portfolio companies succeed in their markets.

If possible, we do want to take the lead, but are open to other options as well.

With our first investment we usually aim for a minimum stake between 10-20 %.

The industries we are focusing on can be found here.

Based on our Green-Tech Vision we do expand the scope beyond the traditional energy sector and look at startups with a broad view, so it is not essential.
