We take minority ownership stakes, usually between 5-25%. We can lead rounds or follow another investor’s lead. We prefer to syndicate deals to ensure there is sufficient working capacity for future rounds. We play from (pre-) seed funding through IPO, as long as there is a good strategic fit. We are active partners and usually offer to serve on the Board of the start-ups in our portfolio.
