Since 2012, we have been investing in early-stage DeepTech startups solving complex problems to advance everyday lives.
We partner with ambitious DeepTech and data-driven entrepreneurs leveraging foundational technologies to transform mature industries worldwide. From the back of the napkin to the investment committee meeting, it all boils down to three areas: People, Product and Potential.
People
A startup’s success is linked to its team’s abilities and efforts. Taking a company to new heights is a challenging and demanding journey. That is why we find it crucial to assess early on the founders’ passion, vision, and dedication to addressing the problem at hand, as well as their strong work ethic and ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
The founders we invest in consistently exceed expectations, prioritize transparency, and strive for excellence. They drive our excitement and commitment to work with and support them long-term.
Product
We seek unique, valuable products or services that solve significant customer problems. Large, mature industries such as space, manufacturing, mobility and logistics, health, energy and resources need innovative and cutting-edge solutions (automation, connectivity and computing, or enhanced production) to be fit for the future.
Potential
We support companies that execute proven business models, unlocking a market and technology combination with the potential to change the world as we know it. For this, we assess companies’ current traction, future growth potential, and ability to scale operations.
We have been following this approach for over a decade. It guided us to invest in leading DeepTech startups across the globe: Rocket Lab (Nasdaq: RKLB), Whoop, Spire (NYSE: SPIR), Mapbox, ICEYE, Bellabeat, Swift Navigation, AngelList, Behavox, Gauss Surgical, Figure Eight, Halter, Mytra, The Exploration Company and many others. It remains an honor to collaborate with their remarkable founders, and we continuously seek to connect with entrepreneurs that share our values.
