Early stages of a venture is never easy. Growing pains come in different shapes and forms. We can help you with most of these pains, however we think a few factors should come with the DNA of your venture, in order to come out of these early stages as a scalable, profitable, growth company. These factors, together, form our investment criteria:

We are looking for great teams. Period. This means a reputable and relevant track record, as well as great team dynamics where members complement each other in skills, expertise and character.
Technology
Our ideal venture uses world-class technology to either...
Market

Business Model
Your business model, although subject to pivoting, should be unique & disruptive, and should have a clear customer proposition and high entry barriers. We are not looking for ideas that are easily cloned. We are looking for defensible innovation.
