Get ready for due dilligence
We aim to take investment decisions and complete deal negotiations fast, our investment committee is scheduled to meet every week, but the actual speed depends on the readiness and smooth cooperation of all parties involved, from founders to lawyers and co-investors.
To be able to move ahead fast, we expect you to have:
-
1-3 interested co-investors, depending on the deal structure
-
company's documents ready for the legal due diligence, with a focus on IP ownership rights, employee, vendor, and client contracts, if any, as well as financial reports & budgets
-
founders & key employees available for technical & business due diligence
Our typical process involves:
-
online application via our deal room, which we discuss internally on a weekly basis
-
potentially interesting startup founders are invited for an in-person or virtual meeting and Q&A session, after which we identify the next steps
-
in case a startup has no co-investors identified, we facilitate finding them through our networks
-
we present potential investment to our investment committee for the soft approval to move ahead with initial due diligence, based on which we prepare and negotiate a term sheet with startup founders
-
on the basis of the signed term sheet and investment committee approval thereof
