INVESTING – Backing tomorrow’s winners today
Our investment approach focuses on mega-trends like Artificial Intelligence, which are reshaping industries and economies. But we also actively support a wide range of traditional start-ups, providing not just capital, but also strategic guidance and access to our extensive market connections. By leveraging our expertise and network, we help companies scale, innovate, and unlock new growth opportunities. From early-stage ventures to emerging market leaders, we focus on businesses where our involvement can significantly accelerate their trajectory toward success.
Local and global, we focus on ideas that improve processes, develop innovative products, or enhance production capabilities. Some investments have thrived, others didn’t, but the greatest lessons often came from the ones that didn’t succeed. We apply this wisdom to all our new ventures, constantly evolving and refining our approach as we continue to back exciting new ideas and businesses across diverse sectors.
However, we occasionally take a break from the serious stuff and invest in quirky, sometimes even „stupid“ ideas. It’s not our core strategy, but every now and then, it’s just fun to relax, hang loose, and take a chance on something wild — because sometimes, even the strangest ideas have unexpected potential.
