- Binary decisions do not work for us.
- We remain flexible in the use of resources.
Professionalism
Continuous assessment
We are enthusiastic about what we do, but maintain a healthy level of emotional attachment to each of our ideas. If they don’t work, we pivot or kill them quickly.
- We take a rational approach and monitor the results. We are not fortune-tellers.
- We focus on minimizing risk and sustainable growth.
Passion
Hands-on engagement
As a Venture Builder, we act as founders, we are responsible for operational work and building companies ourselves, on top of acting as investors. We pick attractive businesses that we create out of passion and we want to be fully committed to.
- We aim for long-term cooperation and relations.
- We pick projects we are passionate about.
