Investment Criteria
Great Business Case
Everything starts with why; What is the problem you are solving and for whom? There needs to be a BHAG (BigHairy Audacious Goal), with the potential for a high return.
Personal click with founders
We don’t just invest in companies; we invest in people. A good personal click with the founders is the fundament on which our partnership is built.
We prefer co-founders and we hope they are open for our challenges and our mentoring.
OWI is usually the first major investor
We normally invest EUR 250K to 1M initially with the ability to invest significantly more in the next rounds, so founders can concentrate on growing their business.
We like to be the only minority shareholder / investor for the first 2-3 rounds, so that we can add to the discussion and help make important decisions that make impact at an early stage.
Positive social and/or environmental impact
We need to leave this planet measurably better than when we got here. We want to make positive impact.
