Focus statement

The Fund "shall focus on technology companies; it will, however, not focus on a specific industrial sector." It targets early-stage investments — "pre-seed and seed rounds, and typically participates in the first institutional round of funding."

Value Add

Proven track record of helping companies scale: "we are fortunate to have been on the zero to one journey with portfolio companies who have raised in excess of $2B in follow-on funding from some of the world’s best VCs."
High follow-on velocity: "more than 60% of our portfolio companies go on to raise a follow-on round from US or tier 1 European VCs."
Deeptech and frontier AI examples in portfolio (Wayve, Lakera, Orbital Materials, 9fin, GitButler) showing willingness to back technically ambitious, category-forming teams.
Explicit and detailed ESG/exclusion framework (e.g., no investments in tobacco, weapons, gambling, fossil fuel-based energy production, energy-intensive/high CO2-emitting industries unless qualifying as sustainable).
Multi-city team presence (Berlin, Zurich, London, San Francisco) and combination of investing and operating expertise (including Operating Partner roles).
