We benchmark our journey to Series A against ventures in the wild

Analysing available data sources on startup investment and venture funding rounds, on average, a venture ‘in the wild’ needs USD 2.0 Mn to achieve initial product-market fit - a key requirement for Series A. Why should a corporate have to spend a significant multiple of that?

“There is no good reason why the total cash investment, incl. fees, made by corporate, prior to a Series A, should exceed USD 2.0 Mn. Any surplus is a risk-free premium.”

We build

Risk-Aligned.

We keep our fees low and invest in the ventures by putting our entire margin at risk. This ensures we are aligned with the success of the venture, and the corporate partner.

We help corporates leverage strategic assets to reduce initial investment and provide the option to spin in or spin out .

Investable.

We have an 18 month path to raise funding from external investors as a true sense of market validation, including establishing a dedicated founding team, creating the product, commercial planning, and governance model.

Corporate Ventures.

We ensure that corporates have both a clear understanding of fast changing market conditions as well as new revenue engines to develop their business .
