Investment approach
- Thesis
- We only invest in companies we understand. While this is an important general principle in any investment activity, it is even more important when making early-stage investments in new technology. If we don’t understand your science, we won’t understand what experts tell us about the value chain and how it works, or what the competitive landscape looks like. And most importantly, we won’t be able to help you develop your strategy and navigate through the challenges of deep-tech start-ups. So, when preparing a meeting with us, don’t put too much emphasis on future revenue projections. That’s important too, in due time. But first, be prepared for long sessions in front of a whiteboard, explaining to us how your material, algorithm, or antibody functions. We don’t need to understand all the equations, but we need to get the heuristics. We are scientists at heart, eager to learn, and we carry a deep conviction that the world is fundamentally understandable.Source (opens in a new tab)
