Global projects that solve real problems

We don’t do this just for the money. We support projects that quickly make it to the market. Without a large market and go-to-market potential, we won’t invest in your project.

Disruptive innovation and deep technology are our main motivation

We anticipate technological trends and evaluate projects with our own team. Our experience comes from unviersities, working at Google and Motorola, and building our own tech companies.
