Ventures For A Brighter Future
I invest in and work with a select group of startups that focus on impact and/or sustainability themes, to shape the future for the better. Through my investments, I hope to contribute to themes, movements, and systemic changes.
​
The investment itself is the smallest part of the process, as entrepreneurs first and foremost need partners on their side who can help them on their journey. Having started multiple business myself, I know how critical it is to have a strong team of advisors and mentors, and hope to add value in that role as well.

I would love to hear from you
Please note, as described above, that I am only looking to invest in impact- / sustainability-focused businesses. Your Theory of Change needs to be clear and understandable and has to be a key part of the business. I am not interested in investing in startups with a pure profit motive.
