We trust you first.
As an investor serving entrepreneurs for over 25 years, we have learned one thing: Trust is the key ingredient for long-term success.
We are looking for founders seizing the opportunities created by Europe's demographic shift.
Decades of reduced birth rates and increasing life expectancies have made the demographic change one of Europe’s key challenges. We are excited to work with founders who see opportunities where everyone else sees challenges.

Healthcare
Poor health costs Europe 15% of GDP, per year. Meanwhile, costs rise by 2% above GDP.
We invest in superior outcomes and efficiency.
Labor Market
A projected 15% reduction in the workforce by 2050 is equivalent to a decline of 38% in the working population per senior compared to today.
We invest in attracting and integrating global talent.
Senior Consumers
In Germany alone, 12.9 million people will reach retirement age in the next 15 years. With retirement comes changing consumer habits.
We invest in serving this fast-growing population.

We are here to help. But let’s make no mistake: we can’t do it better than you. So we are there whenever you need us. And if not, we’ll just let you do your job and won’t bother you with investor stuff.

We had more than 25 years to make all the mistakes in the field of company building. Even the really dumb ones. And some even twice. Bad news for us. But good news for you, as we are happy to share all our learnings so that you can opt for a more selective approach towards making your own errors.

Everyone agrees that open and transparent communication leads to superior co-operation. But why isn’t this industry standard then? We blame short term incentivisation for setting the wrong priorities in the collaboration of entrepreneurs and their investors. That’s why we look forward to discuss the bad news with you and use our joint forces to get them out of your way.

One of our most important principles is to treat our entrepreneurs in such a way that they would like to do their second venture with us, too. We are incredibly proud that several of our successful partners have done just that. Let’s keep going.
