Studio build capital, sized with you case by case, plus a first cheque of €500K to €2M from Fund I at spin-out.

Domain expertise
We back founders across Digital Health & Life Science, FinTech, Robotics, CleanTech & AgriTech, and Defence. You've lived the problem; we won't hand you a thesis you don't believe.
- 09
Equity split
You hold the majority. The studio takes a minority stake, 15 to 25%, with standard four-year vesting and a one-year cliff on both sides. Founder-friendly by design: the studio earns its return through the fund’s stake, not through a controlling position.
