How We Invest
Privileged Deal Flow
Dealflow.eu tracks 24,000+ startups across five European markets. Daily curation by our platform team surfaces the top 2% of investable companies — giving us privileged deal flow before term sheets are drafted.
Disciplined Selection
We invest up to €2M per venture with a 40% follow-on reserve. Our management team brings a 4.9× historical multiple on invested capital, applying rigorous due diligence across technical moats, team depth, and market timing.
Value Creation Engine
Post-investment, we unlock up to €2.5M in non-dilutive EU funding per portfolio company. Corporate matchmaking through our 200+ enterprise network and access to 1,200+ co-investors drives our 4× net return target.
