Mission and Philosophy

It is our mission to build one of Europe's leading internet companies.

In doing so...

...we have a cooperative approach

When starting new companies or making investments, we consider the shareholders or executives of the respective company to be our partners. That means that we are not only working for our own success, but also for the success of our partners. Furthermore, we think on a long-term basis and therefore are not looking for short-term advantages – especially not at the expense of our partners! We are "handshake entrepreneurs" that stand by their word and can be counted on 100%. However, if someone abuses our trust, we will react accordingly - traitors get no mercy…

...we want to promote entrepreneurship

We believe that entrepreneurship in Germany and in Europe has a lot of catching up to do, so our goal is to actively promote and foster Europe’s entrepreneurial culture.

... prefer projects that add value to society

We would not consider ourselves social entrepreneurs, but we take social aspects into account when making decisions, and prefer businesses that make sense from a macro-economic perspective.

...we work as a network and promote networks

We believe in networks and personal relationships, and act accordingly. We try to include our respective networks into our mission as well as to foster and promote the creation of networks (for example between portfolio companies).
