Frequently Asked Questions

What is your preferred ownership target?

8-15%

What is your typical due diligence process?

Depends on the stage of the company and our ticket size. We can do a light DD process for smaller tickets, and more extensive DD for later stage companies. We typically do most of the DD pre Investment Committee, since we prefer to get to know the founders and the company before term sheet stage.

What is your average time from first meeting to decision?

Depending on the case. Wide range from a few weeks to months.

What do you expect from founders after investing?

Achieving the goals we set in the 90 days plan post DD process. Mostly working on the findings in the DD process.

Do you take board seats?

We want to have the option.

Do you reserve capital for follow-on rounds?

Yes.

Do you invest in solo founders?

Yes.

What does success look like for you in an investment?

Achieving the goals we set together with the founders and turning profitable within 18-24 months after our initial investment. After that, the founders typically have their own choice going forward, e.g. taking in new capital, healthy growth, etc. We do not chase the next unicorns, we chase actual returns!
