Time to venture out !

About us

We are here to help foster businesses from their earliest stages to their expansion. Be it just an early-stage venture with a few months of operations or innovative advanced business, we want to support it. Successful businesses are often started by mature founders who have several years of work experience and do not conform to the status quo.

That’s why we are looking for professionals or ambitious talents who have a knack for solving market failures and those who embody leadership and efficient problem-solving qualities.

The qualities that make a great entrepreneur are often present before they even start a business. We are looking for extraordinary founders to partner with them from the early days of starting up as well as partner in theirs already grown innovative business ideas. We want to cooperate with hungry entrepreneurs, willing to take a leap of faith in your business venture & success.

Together with funding we organize key European venture capital & start-up conferences and provide software development resources as well as co-working spaces and transaction advisory services .
