These are the things we look for when we decide to back a company. These are guides, so you don’t need to tick every box. If you are building something ambitious, reach out to us.
What we look for
We believe innovation is essential to restoring the balance between nature and society, and that start-ups are a key driver of that innovation. We invest where environmental impact and financial returns reinforce each other.
Strong team, ambitious plan
Complementary founders with operating depth and the ambition to build a category leader.
Disruptive technology or solution
We back defensible innovation: novel science, hard-tech, or category-defining software.
Fit with the themes we know best
We invest in the sectors with the largest environmental and financial returns. The companies we work with are active in these sectors: Food & Agriculture, Energy, Mobility, and Industry.
Intentional, measurable, additional impact
Your environmental impact is core to the product, can be measured, and would not happen without you.
Investing up to €10M
We prefer to enter in Seed (product-market fit) and Series A (proven and scalable business model) and make follow-on investments until exit. In the Netherlands, we also invest smaller amounts for proof of concept funding. See below.
Based in Northwestern Europe
We focus on the Netherlands and neighbouring countries. We do not invest outside Europe.
Committed and experienced investor
You want a committed and experienced investor who will actively contribute to your growth.
