Our Investment Philosophy
In line with the gold-digger analogy, we prefer to invest in the modern-day shovel sellers and saloon owners: enterprises with infrastructure technologies whose field of application is primarily the B2B (Business-to-Business) sector.
Why? Not all the gold diggers find gold but the shovel sellers will be successful no matter if there is gold or not. But perhaps it is enough to point at the stock market capitalization of comparable enterprises such as Cisco, Intel, Telekom, Intershop etc.
We concentrate on early-stage investments in the sectors of the future:
- Information Technology
- Microsystems
- Telecommunications
- Process technology
- E-commerce
- M-commerce
- Robotics
- Nanotechnology
As it is no secret that success does not solely depend on a product or technology we take a thorough look at the management team behind the concept. We analyse their management competence, industry experience and their "can't lose-attitude" - we invest in the best of the best only. The selection process is based on our combined long-time business experiences.
Our goal is an exponential increase of value of our portfolio companies. Therefore, this selection is only the beginning. Consequently, we emphasize on an individual support by our investment managers. Their task is to exploit our network contacts and know-how as efficiently as possible in order to guide the companies to success with "e-speed". Success usually is defined as financial independence achieved by taking the company public. Here, Proximitas AG actively plays an important role as a professional partner early in the process.
This strategic cooperation corresponds with the most modern VC approaches practiced in Silicon Valley which are based on long-term experiences within this business. The successful results of the market development and returns need no further comments.
How to participate at this concept you may conclude from our investment concept.
