About
We are the venture capital arm of the Schulte Group, inheriting the technology innovation, the global mindset and the Hanseatic handshake that distinguish our parent company Bernhard Schulte – a maritime innovator and operator since its own beginnings in 1883.
Investment approach
- Thesis
- We invest in startups globally, focussing on early-stage ventures across Europe and Asia. Our goal is to add value from day one, not just capital, and to support our portfolio companies with maritime domain knowledge. We will act as sparring partners, whether it is to fine-tune specific business models or to develop growth strategies. Along the investment journey, we want to better understand our portfolio founders’ businesses in order to promote them to the Schulte Group’s worldwide network of partnering opportunities.Source (opens in a new tab)
